This is one of my Beloved's favorite soups. It is very inexpensive to make, yet tastes better than the major brands at the store.

Cream of Tomato Soup

1 cup butter

8 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. pepper

2 2/3 Tbsp. finely diced onion

4 quarts tomato juice (3 large cans)

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

Saute' onion in butter. In a bowl mix together flour, sugar, salt & pepper. Add to the butter, stirring and cooking until smooth and bubbly. You may need to add abit of the tomato juice to get the flour/butter mixture to become smooth. Add remaining tomato juice, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute.

Pour the soup into prepared canning jars leaving about 1 inch of headspace. Cold pack for 1 hour.

Makes 11 pints.

***Note: this recipe is verystrong in the tomato flavor when compared to store bought varieties. When you heat up the soup to use it, you can add some milk to tone down the flavor if you prefer a more mild tomato flavor.

Enjoy!
