Ingredients

  • 4 pounds slices make sure that they are cut up or diced as they'll cook faster

  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/2 cup cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour

How To Make cream of tomato soup

  • Step 1
    combine first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan; boil for 15-20 minutes. strain tomato mixture through a sieve, mashing tomatoes and onion withthe back of a spoon: discard pulp. return to to saucepan, and set aside. i use a food mill so much easier.
  • Step 2
    melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat; add four, stirring until mixture is smooth. cook 1 minutes, stirring constantly. gradually add 1 quart scalded milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly till slightly thickened.
  • Step 3
    gradually stir milk into the tomato mixture, heat thoroughly. DO NOT BOIL!!! serve immediately. i froze it after it had cooled down.
