Since it was something like -153 degrees together (okay, it felt like it!) I think Bully was just getting cabin fever and wanted to play with his new toy (pressure canner)
That recipe does seem on the small side to make the process worthwhile, but I can appreciate wanting to make a nice soup vs. a Campbells or Progresso. Homemade chicken soup is so easy and so much better than store bought. Everytime I make some...it is one of the very few things I make that I do this..but as I am eating it...I am thinking to myself....Dang this is good...Okay, sometimes I say it out loud too!
There is just something so satisfying about homemade chicken noodle soup.
