I can this tomato soup mixture before adding the butter, flour and milk about every other year. You determine how much you do at one time. I usually put up about 80 jars at a time, mostly in October when the weather has cooled down.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 pounds fresh tomatoes

  • 2 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 bay leaf

  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ cup butter

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 quart milk

Directions

  1. Run the tomatoes through a food mill to remove the seeds and skins, and place in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the bouillon, sugar, salt, bay leaf, basil and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. (If you're going to can this mixture, process it now.)

  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour all at once to form a roux; cook for 1 minute. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, cooking and stirring constantly until thickened. Stir into tomato mixture and heat through.
