You water bath it for about thirty minutes. I don’t add lemon juice, but you can if you want.
Congrats on the new baby!

Hi Laura,
This recipe looks great and I cannot wait to add it to my canning repertoire this fall… assuming baby #2 due 9/15 doesn’t interfere with my grand canning plans this year Do you use a water bath canner for this recipe? How long do you process it for, and do you add any lemon juice to make sure it has enough acid? Thanks in advance!

Hi! Thanks for so many of your awesome recipes! I actually just started menu planning and used several of your recipes in my week one…so far all have been EXCELLENT and very easy for a busy family…my kids have loved them too! I made this tomato soup recipe today too…and it made enough for 3 hearty family size servings…I froz the extra 2 servings for a future date…

I did try making it with 1 cup skim milk to every 2.5 c. of tomato mixture. I always used to eat the Campbell’s version with a little milk mixed in…and it worked great with this recipe too…except HUGE BONUS that this soup is natural and has no sugar/high fructose corn syrup, etc…and still tastes GREAT! You can check out my post with lots of links back to your great recipes here…http://makingoverme.blogspot.com/2010/02/menu-plan-feb-15-21.html

Thanks again!

Made some of this wonderful soup a few months ago and canned it. We have already used half of them (didn’t have too many tomatoes to fix.) Some we have at as a soup. Others I used them as a base for my homemade spaghetti sauce. Absolutely love this easy recipe. I will most definitely make more next year!! Thank you Laura!!

I am so glad I found your site…and this recipe. My daughter’s and I absolutely love tomato soup, especially with grilled cheese sandwiches. I can’t wait to make a batch and be able to save it for the winter months. My girls will be happy to be able to help me make some soup since they like helping me can veggies. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for the nice, simple recipe! I made a quad batch, didn’t have enough onions, so threw in three banana peppers…flavor was good! I poured the soup through a metal strainer after blending it, too, because I didn’t want the seeds in it. I’m excited to try some soon in some goulash!!

This soup was excellent!
I had never made homemade tomato soup before. The same day I read your blog post about this soup I was given some tomatoes from a friend’s garden; now I was fully prepared to make your soup. It was delicious! I will definitely make it again…and again.

Lindsay– I had two large tomatoes(slightly bigger than my fist) and four small tomatoes(Roma sized)and weighed them on my kitchen scale and that only equaled 3 lbs. Maybe you can “guesstimate” with that information. I just made a half batch.

Hello Laura…thank you for sharing. About how many tomatoes equal 5 lbs? I have this huge box of tomatoes and have no idea what that might equal.

Sounds good!
I just canned 26 quarts of tomato soup Sunday night. It was a TON of soup, & I’m STILL tired from that adventure, LOL, but I’m glad to have it & will be very thankful the first chilly evening that I pull one out of the cabinet to fix for supper!
Nice blog you have. I don’t get online much, but when I do, I’ll try to come back.

Does it matter if you use regular salt?
