November is here and the temperature is dropping.  Cold season hit our house yesterday.  So... It's time to get my refrigerator prepared for the cold season.  An oldie but goodie from my blog. {My Mom's homemade soup {April 2013}}  

I have always wondered why my grandmother had sooo many mason jars in her kitchen. Well, I accidentally found out the mason jar secret.  I thought they were just cute drinking jars, you know the perfect addition with a cute straw {{{{NO!!!}}} They are the perfect canning/preserving and in the case of the soup, PERFECT for storing hot liquids.  After I finish cooking my soup I pour the soup in the jars.  The beauty of the jar is that it vacuum seals the foods!!! Love this!! Our oldest daughter once warmed her Mason Jar Homemade Soup in the microwave {disclaimer ~ not sure if the jar is microwave safe} and enjoyed her soup at school later that morning. 

Check out my link for the soup and tell me what you think.

Enjoy
