Mom’s Best Tomato Soup Canning Recipe, My Mennonite mother’s ‘famous’ tomato soup – hard to beat! Perfect anytime of the year! Enjoy! Here’s what I purchased (for you to use as a baseline reference): – to yield 75 quarts of soup – 3 bushels of tomatoes, 6 lbs butter, 5 lbs sugar, 3 bunches celery, 5 lbs flour Hope that helps! (RECIPE BELOW IS FOR 8-10 QUARTS) (I make lots, and then frequently give this as a gift for a new mother, a hostess gift (when invited to dinner), a get-well meal, etc ) Super quick – easy to make, and can easily add garlic bread and a salad and dessert for a quick meal to bless someone ENJOY!, I left the flour out and it still came out thick and my family loved it , How much baking soda do you add to cut the acidity?
