The 2 min blanching stops the enzyme that causes the pumpkin/squash to lose its color and texture through the canning process . I can tell you as an old woman that's been canning a long time it's worth the 2 mins if you plan to keep it in storage for yrs. I have some jars that are over 2 yrs old and looks as fresh as the day I canned it.
I like squash/pumpkin soup with the curry powder seasoning but my family doesn't like curry 😮 your soup recipe sounds so yummy 😊

"It turns out, I just love soup"! -Chelsea
This statement needs to be on a shirt. Because this is a mood and I totally relate to it so much. A warm hug of joy to you and yours.💚

Hi everyone. I am not sure if any of you do this or not but I love it along with my family. I make a stew and bake it till about 1/2 way there then I put it into a pumpkin that has been cleanout like halloween time and put my stew in it then continue baking. When you feel the stew is done to how you like it and the pumpking flesh is soft it is ready to enjoy. I just like the fact that when you scoup out some stew you get the walls of the beautiful pumpkin meat with it. YUM. Great video Chelsea. cheers

You can sprout the seeds in the dark and eat as a micro green! Like sprouts!

Another great video. So glad Dan helps you out. The gift he brought home is beautiful and so nice. You're both such a great couple.

About 35 years ago, I helped my mom, and our friends family cut up and can one of those giant fair pumpkins. The person that guessed the weight of said pumpkin won it in a raffle and gave it to our friends, it weighed 99 pounds. I think we got close to 80 quarts of pumpkin from it.

Keep enjoying your soup! I read an article years ago that discovered that people who consumed soup more consistently maintained their diets and metabolism better, lost 15-20% more weight, and had smaller waists and belly fat.

Yay! New video! I love how you stay so engaged with your followers! Definitely the highlight of my day!

The rain on your high tumble sounds so wonderful! I live in northern. Okla, and we are so dry. The grass is crunchy under foot, and cracks in the ground you can put your hand in. Enjoy your rain, and pray for some for us.

My Presto Electric Canner thru an error code earlier in the year. I contacted Presto and a rep worked with me. We tried lots of things and I emailed videos to her. But eventually they sent me a brand new canner. It wasn’t a bad process at all. The customer service was amazing! I’m sure they will make it right for you too!

Yes Pumpkin and Squash seeds are Good wormer.

We are a soup family too. If we could ever get out of the 80 degree temps, I would be making more. 😃

Hi Chelsea! You always bring a smile to my face! Love from Missouri!

I have always cooked my pumpkin and pureed it an canned it. I have never had any problems with it.

Hi-
I just found your channel and I'm enjoying it very much.
Thank you!
Idk if you'll see this, but I do my pumpkins soup very similar to yours and I can it in quarts (without the coconut milk and butter) then when I serve it I grab two quarts, and while its heating I add the butter, milk, and use an imersion blender to make it smooth. Instead of potatos I add pint or two of beans (I like black) and some corn. I serve it with cowboy candy, or a harissa infused hot oil drizzle. Fresh herbs on top are always good too. Thai basil is a fav.

Hi I just roasted a round medium pumpkin like a yellow squash with butter and olive oil fresh mince garlic and salt pepper thyme and dry basil melt together stir the ingredients pour over the pumpkin chunks bake for a few minutes, picky family members loved it too I am not and I love my veggies, you can use this mixture on carrots potatoes and I did throw away the butter oil I just Jared it and used it on other veggies like greens, no waisting ! Enjoy

Freeze dried pumpkin is our favorite way to preserve it! Makes a quick and easy side dish!

When I have trouble cutting through squash etc I have a designated rubber mallet that I wack the top of the knife with and it helps cut through the pumpkin with little effort
