Brent and Fae's Tomato Soup
I haven't made this myself yet, but I hope to this coming summer. It's my Uncle Brent and Aunt Fae's tomato soup recipe, and it is tasty. They make and bottle this every year, and last year they shared a bottle with my dad and me. Thanks, guys!
3/4 bushel tomatoes (1/2 bushel = 16 cups) This is a box of tomatoes
6 onions
6 celery stalks
6 green peppers
Quarter the tomatoes and put in a large pot. Use a potato masher to mash the tomatoes before putting in the other vegetables. Then grate or chop the other vegetables and add to the pot. Stir on high heat. When the vegetables are soft and tender and the mixture has cooled down, put everything through a juicer or blender. Or you can just have chunky soup, which is also good. Then bring the soup to a boil and add the following, mixing dry ingredients together before adding to water.
scant 1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup salt
Stir this mixture until smooth, then add to pot using a whisk. Let boil and stir five minutes. Then add 1 cup butter. Ladle soup into hot jars and process in steam bath for 45 minutes. We usually get about 14 quarts of soup from this recipe. We like salt, so you may want to cut down on the amount of salt in this recipe. It may not be as tasty though.
