The first time I made this I followed it precisely, except omitted the celery, and ended up with 9 quarts. I may have simmered it longer...the recipe didn't really say how long. It was good, but the onion flavor was a little strong for us. So the second time I used only 2 onions, left out the butter, and also increased the sugar to my husband's taste. I will use this again with my modifications. The amount of acidity in this recipe is not out of line with other water bath canning recipes I've seen, so I'm not worried about that at all. This is a great way to use up the tons of tomatoes I have every fall. Thanks for posting!

Very simular to old Kerr Canning book. I double the flour, butter, salt, and sugar, because I like a thicker creamer tomato soup. To process in water bath canner new quidelines recommend 85 min. I did run out of celery so I used 4 tsp of celery salt and omited 4 tsp of salt. Still very good. Makes appx. 26 pints.
