you can “can” a homemade soup mix with meat. Me and mine been doing it for years. Tomatoes, Potatoes, corn, Lima beans and cooked ground beef. Make that and a pan of cornbread, and you're set.

I just pressure can the meat in broth and when I want fresh soup, pull a can off the shelf, put it on the stove to heat for its required 20 minutes, add the fresh veggies at the time.

That way the quality of the veggies is not compromised as it is when you pressure can them.
