Name: Home Canned Tomato Soup
Ingredients: 8 quarts tomatoes, cored and chopped (Fill an 8-cup glass measuring cup four times. According to my research, 1 quart = about 3 pounds tomatoes.

Instructions

Puree the veggies in a high speed blender. I like to puree the tomatoes, too.
Combine all ingredients in a large pot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook slowly until thick.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove bay leaves!
Ladle into clean, hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space.
In a pressure canner, process pints and quarts for 20 minutes at 10 pounds pressure.
To serve, add milk of choice and season to taste with unrefined sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
