      Thanks guys! Yeah the soup is very good. I got the idea from another site. The instruction went like this:

      Get a 15 ounce (or so) can of sardines in tomato sauce (they are with the Spanish foods in an oval can here). Saute about half an onion in oil. Add garlic and other vegetables and saute some more (I used carrot and celery). Add 3 cans of tomato soup (I used canned Italian tomatoes). Add a 15 ounce (or so) can of chicken broth. Add the can of sardines including sauce (I mashed them up with a fork). Add seasonings (I used salt, pepper, bay leaf, sugar, and hot sauce). Add cream if you want (I used a little). Simmer it for about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings (I added some fresh basil at the end). You can puree it with an immersion blender or regular blender if you want (I left mine chunky).

      Pretty easy and tasty. Enjoy!

        Ok it's a huge pot of chili today. I've done this recipe from Ball's "Complete Book of Home Preserving" once already and it was really good. So this time it's a double batch! Lucky timing for me because everything I needed was on sale at Safeway yesterday! I couldn't find a fresh chili pepper so I used 5 thai bird's eye peppers from the freezer. I used them last time as well so I knew it would be good. Got 10 pint jars plus enough for dinner! Still need about 20 more minutes in the pressure canner.

            I think next time I'll do a 4X recipe. I can put 20 pints in that canner. Doesn't look like too much, but the beans aren't added yet. Just open a jar and a can of beans and
