Default i made tomato soup today from scratch

just to see how it turned out with using our home
canned tomato juice.

a simple thing really, fry some flour in butter,
make it into a paste with some of the juice, add
garlic salt, onion powder, stir.

add some more tomato juice stir, warm, add some
more tomato juice, heat, stir.

smooth it out if you want, i didn't care if it
had a few lunps in it.

put a few crackers in and that was dinner.

the mistake i made, was that i had a bit of milk
left in my cup so i poured that in there and it
pretty much instantly curdled, i wasn't upset or
surprised and i still ate it, just a bit of a
textural difference, still edible, but i sure won't
make that mistake again.

Ever had a Bloody Mary made from freshly picked garden tomatoes?

Nice. I don't can, but here's my method:

Saute an appropriate amount of finely minced onions
and garlic in oil.

Add a can of pureed or crushed tomatoes and an equal
volume of chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper.

Simmer for a few minutes.

You must be the only man in creation who doesn't like having his

Just be careful to whom you say "You scratch my bike and I will scratch
your's"

I have been getting a lot of much needed back scratches lately. I was at
the dermatologist a couple weeks ago and had some cryosurgery....
nitrgen sprayed on problem areas. Now the spots have scabbed over and
healed and itch like mad.

In bartender parlance, mixed drinks (cocktails) sans alcohol are "virgin".

What's all this BS about tomato soup from scratch, didn't even do the
easiest part, grow the tomatoes!

Now Garish knows exactly why I delete entire threads... I knew from
the get-go that from scratch would be a LIE!

You know, that's one I haven't done yet. I've done scratch tomato sauce
where I grew the tomatos but not a soup.

Got an actual recommended recipe for it? Not 'sized for 300 people'.
I'm looking for 4-6 cups end soup.

How do you know? The original thread started off with "just to see how
it turned out with using our home canned tomato juice." Songbird didn't
say where he got the tomatoes but one can infer certain things from the
words "home canned".

For a cheap and quicky tomato soup. Use a can of Campbells Condensed.
Add water, not milk, then add a chopped garden tomato. Good in a pinch.

I have a good from scratch one from an old Food and Wine magazine if you
are interested.

Only problem with deleting entire treads is the "thread drift." Starts
out talking about one thing then a few days later, the subject has
changed completely, but still using the original subject line.

we did grow our own tomatoes, then we juiced and canned
them, that was the base for the soup. about 95% of what i
used was that tomato juice. the rest of the ingredients
were things on hand which were not grown by us (we don't
have a cow for milk fat to make butter and the flour was
APF), the bit of milk i dumped in at the end was also store
bought. oops.

correct, home grown tomatoes, they've been so good to have
on hand. we put up about 300 quarts last season. it was a
bummer to run out half way through the year last year so we
put in more plants to be sure we'd not have that happen again.

it is a lot of work come harvest time but every drop and
chunk is worth it. we put up about the same amount of tomato
chunks as juice. it takes only a bit more time to juice than
to do chunks. we don't have a power food mill/juicer so that
part could be speeded up if we were doing a lot more but i
don't think we're going for commercial production line amounts
here any more.

I live in a part of NJ that has a deep-rooted Italian heritage. Every
fall at peak tomato harvest time, the local produce specialty shops
stock huge pots (that I jokingly refer to as "baby boilers"), massive
food mills, and propane gas rings to be used outside to make sauce.
All the canning equipment is near the store displays, too, right next
to tons of Roma and other sauce tomatoes. Many home gardened tomatoes
get used, too.

The sauce making is often a multi-generation family gathering and done
outdoors on the driveways. This happens sometimes even in
neighborhoods with multi-million dollar homes. Big family party.

The store nearest me that stocks all this restaurant sized equipment,
also carries wine making supplies.

I know you do extensive gardening and canning and am always impressed
at counts of "300 XXXs of YYY" when you mention them. More power to
you.

Cheap, quicky, and _sweet_. I don't add sugar to my tomato soup. Campbell's
uses more high-fructose corn syrup (which is 1.5 times sweeter than sugar)
than it does salt. Or , for that matter, flour.

Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Wheat Flour, Water, Contains Less Than 2% Of: Salt, Potassium Chloride, Citric Acid, Natural Flavoring, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Monopotassium Phosphate, Celery Extract, Garlic Oil.

I think I'll stick with somewhat slower soup.
