Preserving tomato soup
« on: April 11, 2010, 20:40 »
Hi i'm planning on making tomato soup from my crop this year.  Does anybody know how long it keeps?  Do i need to add preservatives to keep it any longer than a month in a jar?
Cheers, Nick

I suppose you could freeze it.

I'm lazy!  I wait until the soup is cold, Then freeze in margarine tubs.  Usually 1kg sized, and if I'm getting short of tubs.  I put a cheap sandwich bag inside the tub, fill that with the soup, take some of the air out and tie the bag.  Freeze it, then remove bag and frozen soup from tub and use it again.  The lovely rectangular blocks of soup stack nicely in the freezer too saving space!!!

I cook it down much further to concentrate it then freeze it

That way i re heat aback up and add a little more water or milk to bulk it and its back to normal but takes up less space
I hate signatures but love irony

I freeze mine in zip lock type bags - you can now buy reusable bags, but I find after 3 or 4 times the seal begins to go.
