Soup!

I make awesome soup. Even fish stew. It's not even a teensy bit fishy... just very tasty.

After ten years, I finally used the last of my red miso paste. It tasted vaguely like carob powder after all that time. Odd.

Note to self: no matter how good the soup is, next time don't use catfish. Skimming oil off the top of each jar with paper towels is not fun.

Cross your fingers that the jars seal despite all the oil.

Edit: 14 out of 16 sealed... not bad at all.

Someday I'd like to try canning soup. I think it's really neat that you do.

Not too hard, with the right equipment. It takes a while, though, between prep time, filling the jars (especially if you're alone) and then a couple hours for the canning process.

The soup came out really soft, particularly the fish -- seafood takes almost twice the processing time that meat does (100 minutes vs. 60 minutes). I'll have to remember that.
