I have a wonderful recipe for potato soup which has quickly become a favorite in our household. I have canned chili, stews and other soups, but not sure on this recipe. It calls for 3/4 c of sour cream for one batch.
Can I safely add this to my soup, then can it? Just not sure if the sour cream would break down during the pressure process. Thanks!

Elizabeth,
It is not recommended that you can anything with dairy products. What I would do is try canning it without the sour cream or any other dairy, and then add it later when you serve it.
Potato soup is a favorite at our house too. I almost always make it after a ham dinner with the leftover mashed potatoes and ham gravy as a base. My secret ingredient is chicken broth. The broth adds a wonderful, rich flavor. YUM!
I often freeze it but have never canned it.
