Canned Tomato Soup




1-11 qt. basket ripe tomatoes


4 large onions,cut up


1 head celery, chopped


1 bunch parsley




put above ingred in large pot and boil 1 hour or till tender. Remove parsley, then press veggies through sieve. put juice back in kettle and add




2 tbsp salt


1/4 tsp cayenne pepper


1/2 c butter


1 c sugar


1/2 c cornstarch or clear jel



Cook until it boils down a little and is thickened, watch close as burns easily. Seal in jars for twenty minutes. recipe says the yield is nine pints but I got ten pints from eight quart tomatoes.




We still like campells soup with grilled cheese but I find this soup excellent as an addition to borshts or hamburger soups. Also great for recipes like lazymans cabbage rolls and meat loaf.

This looks great! I've never tried homemade tomato soup. Did you have enough tomatoes this year to do a few batches?

I didn't have enough red tomatoes for the full recipe but i still got ten pints so the tomatoes must have been really juicy. If all my green tomatoes turn red and dont rot then I'm hoping to get a batch of spaghetti sauce.
