Out of season tomato soup.Last fall when I got so sick I ran out of time before the surgeries to can much of anything. So, I just havested all of our tomatoes, tossed them in the blender and froze the juice. Now, here we are getting ready for jam season and I am busy cleaning out the freezer and canning tomato soup.
Each year I put up at least 100 pints of this soup because Maya Rae lives on it all winter. Of course she ran out last winter so she is thrilled to be eating it now. Shes eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner right now!
Heres the recipe (as I have altered it) for a kid friendly tomato soup. Its called
"Just like Cambells"
to serve mix with equal parts milk
Put in large sauce pot....7 Qts tom juice and about a cup of tomato paiste...start to cook till thick.
(for easy 'juice' just wash fresh toms, remove the green part, toss the ENTIRE tom in the blender! Skins, seeds and all. Blend till smooth. Put collendar over sauce pot. Pour juice through collendar. That catches the seeds- feed these to the chickens. Whats in the pot is perfect for soup or spagetti sauce etc...and no blanching required! Love it!) Measure 7 qts.
1 1/2 cups butter (dont use margerine...its one molecule away fr plastic-ick)
1/2 cup or up to 2 small onions
(put these in small pot together and cook till onions are soft. Then ladel a few scoops of tomato juice into blender then dump melted butter and cooked onions in there. Blend till completely smooth- then dump in the big sauce pot with the juice)
Then add the following....
1/8 cup salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 or a little less black pepper
Cook down a little longer. You want it to thicken but its ok if its kind of loose. Just eye it.
Then, ladel hot soup into pint jars. Add lids and rings. Water bathe 30 min.
mmmmm :) Enjoy.
