Oh, thank you so very much!  I will try it tomorrow!  I have been canning and freezing all summer long and have a freezer full of stuff I need to can.  It is like having to have your own grocery store.  I am even baking bread.  I stumbled across this site by accident last weekend when looking for corn cob jelly and just fell in love with the conversations and the great recipe ideas, so decided to join.  Now I am checking the site several times a day….it really lifts my spirits.  My hubby is only 55, had his attack two days after his 55 bday.  But, he too quit smoking and is exercising and eating right, so the way I support him is by trying to keep his meals prepared for him and as low in sodium as possible.  I am six months into this and have a much better handle on it than I did in the beginning.  Every night I either can something or bake something.  On yes, baking is a whole new world.  I have to use special baking powder and soda that is not full of sodium.  I have mastered using the Featherweight baking powder.  It does not contain sodium and I didn't find much difference in the Featherweight powder than the regular baking powder.  But the soda that is sodium free is a different story.  I am reading more and more about sustaining gardening and learning so much about canning, baking and nutrition.  I'm thankful I have found such a supportive and informative community on this site.  I look forward to learning much more from everyone and maybe one of these days I can contribute something that will help some of you out.

I will look for your soup base and try it.  Can't wait.  Thanks so much for the insite!

Thank you everyone for the ideas and well wishes.  I was planning on giving the breakfast bars a shot tomorrow, but ended up at the last farmer's market for the year and loaded up on things to can, so am going to hit the sack early tonight, cash in on the extra hour of sleep we get tonight going into daylight savings time, and start early tomorrow and can all day.  Oh, how much fun it is to bring home fresh produce and fruits and spend the day canning.  I have my recipes all lined out and can't wait to sit back tomorrow and admire the finished product. I actually couldn't wait and canned two batches of spaghetti sauce this afternoon and evening.  I was so trilled with my find.  I got great 20 pounds of great looking tomatoes for $3.00.  Everything was really cheap since today was the last day of market until next spring.  Picked up a bushes of bell peppers for $7.00.  Also grabbed a 30 lb box of Jonnagold apples for $20.00 and 15 lbs of Bartlett pears for $10.00.  All and all I had a great time shopping and plan on having even a better time tomorrow!  Hope I can make a lot of progress tomorrow.
