The recipe I use is on page 91 of the new version of Growing and Canning Your Own Food (If you have the older version it is on page 97). I’m making a batch this week! It’s very good. — Jackie
Canning tomato soup
A friend of mine has the following recipe and asked if it could be canned. If so, how?
Creamy tomato-basil soup
2 Tablespoon chopped green onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1 can (10.5 ounce) condensed chicken broth,undiluted
1-1/3 cup water
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoon sherry or additional chicken broth
2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoon sugar
In large pot saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the tomatoes, broth, water and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes stir in cream, sherry or additional broth, basil and sugar. Cook 1 minute and heat through.

Sorry but I’ve tried similar recipes and with the addition of the cream, the canned soup kind of curdles and looks unappetizing. — Jackie
Deb,
Awww. So sweet of you! We do hope to help everyone as much as we possibly can in any way we can.
Yep, you can can up tomato soup, but just don’t add flour to make it thick, like Campbells do. I add my milk as I heat it up to serve.
Couldn’t you can the tomato sour without the cream and then add it just before serving?
How about canning the tomato soup without the cream and like we do with
Campbell’s soup, add the milk or cream right before it is served. Sounds
like it might be the answer but I’ll leave that to our guru and teacher, Jackie.
I sure enjoy all the things I learned at the seminar and look forward to killing my chickens next month and enjoying the free range meat. I know how to do it thanks to Will, Jackie and Jeri. I hope all of her readers will start saving their money to attend the next seminar in 2014. Jackie and Will try to address everyone’s needs, questions and if there is anything you need to know, they will make sure you learn how to do it and how to accomplish your goals.
You couldn’t ask for more kind and endearing people to teach you about life on a homestead. They are knowledgeable and better than any book you read. Am I overstating my thoughts, I hope so. They are the best!!
