Using a slotted spoon, fill canning jars half full with hot 'solids' from the soup mixture. Using a ladle add enough hot stock/liquid from soup to fill jars to 1" head space. Wipe rims with vinegar to clean rims before applying a new, sterile lid, Add screw bands on to finger-tip tightness. Vent Pressure Canner 10 minutes.
