Ingredients
- 1 pound beef bones

- 2 medium potatoes chopped
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
Prepare the Beef and Broth Base
- Begin by browning the beef in a large pot. Afterward, add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Cut the Vegetables
- Chop the carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery into evenly sized pieces for consistent cooking.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the chopped vegetables to the pot with the beef and broth, then bring it to a boil again. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Canning the Soup
- Fill sterilized canning jars with the hot soup, leaving about 1 inch of headspace. Remove any air bubbles and seal the jars with lids and rings.
Pressure Canning
- Process the jars in a pressure canner according to your altitude settings (see pressure settings by altitude). This will sterilize and seal the jars.
Cool and Check Seals
- Let the jars cool down and check that they are sealed by pressing on the lid. If it doesn't move, the jar has sealed properly.
Storage
- Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the jars remain in a dry environment to maintain quality.
