Time 13h15m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 onions, chopped
1 bunch celery, chopped
8 quarts fresh tomatoes, chopped
4 cups water, or as needed
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chilled tomato juice

Steps:

  • Place onions, celery, and tomatoes in a large pot; pour in enough water to just cover vegetables; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Pour tomato mixture through a strainer or food mill, discard solids, and return liquid to the pot; stir sugar and salt into liquid.
  • Blend butter and flour together in a blender until smooth and creamy; add tomato juice. Blend until smooth. Pour butter mixture into liquid in the pot. Cook and stir over medium heat just until tomato soup is hot.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the tomato soup into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area, and wait at least 12 hours before opening.

CANNED CARROT AND GINGER SOUP



Canned Carrot and Ginger Soup image

This recipe may make about 2 quarts. I double or triple it, depending on my carrot supply from my garden. It must be pressure canned. Do not process/ can with cream added. Add cream only when ready to serve. This recipe DOES NOT follow USDA canning rules. If this bothers you, do not continue reading. The concern is that the heat may not penetrate into the middle of the quart jars because the soup is thick. However, I (and many others) have canned it for years with no problem.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 1h

Yield 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Add the stock to the vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a lively simmer and cook until the carrots are tender, approximately 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Add coriander, ground ginger and honey. Puree the soup in pot using an immersion blender or work in batches with a regular blender until smooth.

1 (15 ounce) can green beans
1 (14.5 ounce) can vegetable broth
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons dried minced onion

GLUTEN-FREE "CANNED" CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP T-R-L



Gluten-Free

This is #2 of 3 gluten-free cream soups. As written, these recipes are free of Corn, Wheat, Gluten, Soy, Egg, Yeast and Nuts. NOTE FROM SOURCE: Recipe soups are those soups that one would normally find canned. If you have food allergies, the chances of finding a canned soup you can use in recipes is slim. Besides the usual allergens, you will generaly also find MSG in almost all canned soup, even many of the "health food store" type. MSG is not always listed in that way. MSG frequently hides in foods in the form of "hydrolyzed vegetable protein," "autolyzed yeast," "spices," "flavorings," and other non-specific ingredients. Here are some "semi-condensed" soups you can make from scratch and keep in the freezer for those times when you have a recipe that calls for a canned soup.

SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS (NO CANNED SOUP)



Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas (No Canned Soup) image

This recipe was given to me by a friend and I tweaked it to fit out family's taste. It is very mild, but can be easily spiced up. It freezes well and it can be made in advance and cooked just before serving. It takes two casserole pans to cook it, so I often make one pan for our family and one to give away. This is a very easy recipe to put together. I hope you enjoy!

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -5 chicken breasts
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
20 small flour tortillas
5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1 (3 ounce) can diced green chilies
4 cups chicken broth
16 ounces sour cream

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large saucepan and cover with water. Season to taste. (I usually add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, seasoned salt, garlic powder, etc.) Boil chicken until cooked through and tender.
  • Remove chicken, saving broth. Shred or chop the chicken into small pieces. I often grind it in my food processor as we like the pieces very small.
  • Place chicken in a large bowl and add 3 cups cheese and the onions. Add salt to taste. Mix well.
  • Place a small amount of chicken mixture onto each tortilla and roll. Place in a casserole dish. Try not to crowd too many into one pan.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the green chilies and then the flour. (If you want it spicier, you can add some chopped or pickled jalapenos to this mixture.).
  • Slowly stir in 4 cups of reserved chicken broth. Cook until the mixture becomes slightly thick, like gravy.
  • Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
  • Pour the sauce over the enchiladas. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover, top with remaining cheese and return to oven for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and chicken is done (poke a piece of chicken in the fattest part with a fork and press down...if the liquid comes out pink, keep cooking).
