Homemade Tomato Soup

5 gallon bucket about 30 lbs of tomatoes
6 large onions
1 stalk celery

Boil and puree above ingredients (you can strain them if you prefer very smooth soup)

Then add

1 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Melt 1 ½ cup butter then whisk in 2 cups of flour for the roux. Whisk the roux into the hot tomato mixture to thicken the soup. You also may heat to reduce this if you would like a thicker soup.

Pressure can at 10 lbs of pressure for 30 minutes.

This is a wonderfully easy meal in the winter. Pop open the jar and make some grilled cheese. It is one of my kids’ favorites!
