¾-1 cup peeled, diced tomatoes and liquid
½ cup dried white beans (I used Great Northern)

2/3 cup dried split peas
8-8.5 cups chicken, ham or vegetable broth

Divide ingredients among 8 pint jars as directed in recipes below. Debubble very thoroughly, ensuring no beans are stuck on the bottom. Process in pressure canner for 75 minutes at the appropriate lbs/pressure for your altitude. Do not use the processing time for “soups”.
If preparing quarts instead of pints, double each recipe per quart. Process in pressure canner for 90 minutes at the appropriate lbs/pressure for your altitude. Do not use the processing time for “soups”.
