Sounds good! Does this need to be reconstituted when used? Doesn't look like it, but you're the expert! And it looks like it would make a BUNCH of quarts.

It's ready to eat. Makes about 12 quarts, but I can it mostly in pints and we like to take one to work for lunch in the winter once a week. The recipe I made for years has veggies cooked with the tomatoes, then all is juiced. I like this one even better because there is some texture.
And there is WAY less sodium than commercial soup 
This would also work great if someone has tomato juice from a few years back that they want to use.

Dede… we've decided to turn some of that tomato juice we got the other day into soup. The 40 minutes… is that for pints or quarts?

Oh good, because that's what we ended up doing. You'd mentioned that you mostly did pints, so I was kind of thinking that the 40 minutes was for pints. So then I added 10 minutes for the quarts. The recipe gave us a 7 quarts, 8 pints and enough left to have with supper.

It was really good.
And will be so great to have the pints on hand for lunches since it's just me most days at home for lunch. The quarts, I'm thinking I'll probably use as a base for a quick supper soup on nights when I just don't feel like cooking from scratch. Put the soup in a pot, dump in a bag of frozen veggies and maybe some leftover meat, heat and supper will be ready.
