Ingredients

• 10 pounds Fresh tomatoes
• 2 medium Yellow onions
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 2 large Celery stalks
• 2 large Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cups Vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon per pint jar Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and roughly chop them. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and chop the onions, garlic, celery, and carrots into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and carrots, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and stir well. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the salt, sugar, black pepper, dried basil, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir to combine and taste for seasoning adjustments.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender to puree.

Step 8

Once pureed, return the soup to the pot. Allow it to simmer for another 10 minutes while preparing for the canning process.

Step 9

Sterilize the canning jars and lids by boiling them in water for at least 10 minutes.

Step 10

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to each sterilized pint jar (or 2 tablespoons for quart jars) to ensure proper acidity for safe canning.

Step 11

Carefully ladle the hot soup into the jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.

Step 12

Securely seal the jars with the sterilized lids and screw bands.

Step 13

Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 35 minutes for pint jars or 40 minutes for quart jars, adjusting for altitude if necessary.

Step 14

Remove the jars from the canner and let them cool completely on a towel-lined surface. Check that the lids have sealed properly before storing.

Step 15

Store the canned tomato soup in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within a week. Enjoy!
