Home Canning- Tomato Soup!

I tried this recipe as an experiment one year.  once I ran out, I didn't intend to make more.  I pulled out Cambell's again, and found that it tasted quiet bland in comparison.  My children prefer this also, this is from my sister-in-law:

Tomato Soup

1/2 bushel of tomatoes (8 3/4 juice)

Cook 7 med onions (2 1/4 lb), 14 stems celery (1 bunch), & 14 sprigs parsely (3/4 c flakes) with small amount of water (3 cups).  Put through the sieve (blend first).  Add tomato juice, bring to a boil & add thickening.  Mix in 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 5 T salt, 1 T pepper, add 2 cups melted butter (I omits this) 1/2 cup cold water to make thick batter.  Add boiling water to thicker water.  Add thickening & cook 30 min.  Pour into hot jars & process.  yields 20 pints.
