1. Are the recipes written to be equivalent to CONDENSED version of these soups or are these the soup verisons? Should the liquid be left out to be equivalent to condensed versions. 2. If the liquid is left out (specifically the dairy) can these soups be canned using a pressure canner and glass jars?

Great recipe! I only use canned soups for casseroles, etc. so this is handy to have, since I have most of the ingredients for all of the varieties on hand. I made the cream of chicken tonight and will be using them all eventually. Remember, if you want to use these as a bowl of soup, you still have to add water or milk, these are the CONDENSED versions.

I met my handsome airman at Misawa Air Base (in Japan) and we've been married over 4 years. We are now back Stateside, have one handsome little boy (he takes after his daddy), and are expecting another addition to the family next spring. :o)
I dislike being called a "stay-at-home mom" because I feel that title is somewhat limiting. I love being a mother, but I do so much more than "just" take care of our son. Rather, I am a full-time homemaker. I strive to make our house a home for our family, and I love doing it!
We believe faithful involvement in a local church is an important part of our Christian faith, and are members of a wonderful IFB church nearby. We are good baptists and love to fellowship, as well! :P
As much as I enjoy finding new recipes, I am often intimidated by the "classics." Thankfully, I'm learning to get over that fear and just try things! My family is enjoying their lot as "resident guinea pigs," and is glad for the delicious things I've found through this website.
