CANNED TOMATO SOUP 
1 peck of tomatoes
1 bunch celery
6 onions
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. salt
1 bunch parsley or 1/4 c. dried
2 green peppers, seeded and chopped
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. flour

Cook tomatoes, onions, celery, parsley and peppers until tender. Put through a sieve. Add sugar and salt. Make a paste of melted butter and flour. Blend with juice. Heat and add to jars. Process in a pressure cooker (pints 15 minutes or quarts 20 minutes).

Note: This was the original recipe, but new guidelines recommend using only Clear Jel as a thickener in home canning.
