Tomato Soup For Canning Recipes

Steps:

• Chop onion& celery.
• Place in large kettle w/ just enough water to keep them from burning.
• While this simmers, cut tomatoes (remove stems if not using strainer).
• Add to kettle& cook until tender.
• Place this all through Victorio strainer (or similar).
• Return to kettle.
• Add sugar& salt.
• Cream butter and flour together& mix thoroughly with two cups of COLD juice, until dissolved (or blend together in a blender), to avoid lumps of flour in the juice.
• Add butter/flour mixture to warmed tomato juice. (Add before it's hot, to avoid lumps of flour!).
• Stir well.
• Heat just until hot. (If it gets to a boil, it can make the flour lumpy).
• Just prior to boiling, turn off the burner. (It will continue to thicken as it cools.).
• Ladle into jars& close securely with lids.
• Return to canner & process 20-30 minutes (start timing when it's at a 'rolling' boil).
• Remove from canner & allow to set until sealed (approx. 12 hours) To serve, mix equal parts tomato concentrate to milk, and add 1/2 t. of baking soda per pint as it cooks (1 t. per quart).

Steps:

• 1. Chop onions and celery 2. Place in larger kettle with just enough water to keep them from burning. 3. While this simmers cut tomatoes (If not juicing) 4. Place cut tomatoes (or juice) in kettle and cook until tender. 5. Place everything through a Victorio Strainer or Fine Food Mill. 6. Return to kettle. 7. Add Sugar and salt (I let it simmer till the red color deepens nicely) 8. Melt butter in cast iron or other thick bottomed pot. Stir in flour to form a paste and slowly whisk in 2 to 4 cups of liquid to avoid lumps. 9. Add butter/flour mixture to warmed tomato juice. (If the juice is too hot it may form lumps) 10. Stir well 11. Heat until hot and thickened. (doesn't get real thick) 12. Ladle into prepared jars and secure lids. 13. Hot water bath for 30 minutes per pint. May add a little milk to desired consistency prior to serving. NOTE: For better compliance with current USDA preserve standards - Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice concentrate (like real-lemon - not fresh squeezed) to each pint and add the flour/butter thickening agent when preparing to serve rather than prior to processing. I have seen others that have chosen to process in a pressure canner at 10lbs for 30 minutes. NOTE:

Steps:

• In a 6-quart stockpot or Dutch oven, heat oil, butter and pepper flakes over medium heat until butter is melted. Add carrots and onion; cook, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and dried basil; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes, chicken stock, tomato paste, sugar, salt and pepper; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, to let flavors blend, 20-25 minutes. , Remove pan from heat. Using a blender, puree soup in batches until smooth. If desired, slowly stir in heavy cream, stirring continuously to incorporate; return to stove to heat through. Top servings with fresh basil if desired.

Steps:

• Place onions, celery, and tomatoes in a large pot; pour in enough water to just cover vegetables; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Pour tomato mixture through a strainer or food mill, discard solids, and return liquid to the pot; stir sugar and salt into liquid.
• Blend butter and flour together in a blender until smooth and creamy; add tomato juice. Blend until smooth. Pour butter mixture into liquid in the pot. Cook and stir over medium heat just until tomato soup is hot.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the tomato soup into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area, and wait at least 12 hours before opening.

Steps:

• Put all of the ingredients in a large kettle. Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer and cook until the celery is soft, about 15 minutes; then add the butter sauce and brown sugar paste.
• Mix the sugar and flour together in a bowl. Add enough of the hot soup to make a paste, then stir this into the hot soup and bring to a boil until soup thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
• If the soup is thicker than you prefer, add a little water. Adding the red pepper flakes makes the soup zingier. If too sweet, add a little more salt.
• Pour soup into quart jars and can in a pressure canner for 25 minutes at 10 pounds pressure.
• Yield: 6-7 quarts, depending on size of tomatoes.

Steps:

• Cook all vegetables together.
• When done, sieve until like a smooth paste.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook until thick.
• Seal in glass jars while hot.
• I would process in pressure cooker myself for about 90 minutes.
• I'm guessing this to be safe however, it may be less time.

Steps:

• In a large pot cook tomatoes until soft.
• Press through a food mill.
• In a saucepan combine all of the other veg and add enough water to just cover.
• Cook to tender, drain and put veg thru a food mill.
• Now combine the two puree's and add salt and herbs.
• Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook slowly until thick, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
• Remove bay leaf.
• Ladle into clean hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
• Process in a pressure caner 20 minutes at 10 pounds pressure at altitudes up to 2000 feet.
