Homemade Cream of Tomato Soup

It's fall and the days are getting delightfully cooler. We like to have homemade soup on hand for cold fall and winter evenings, so the other day I made a batch of cream of tomato soup.  I froze it and we will have in on hand when needed.  

Here's the recipe:

Note:  I substituted Penzeys Bavarian seasoning for salt, and I used whole milk.   

Here it is step by step.

I used a 28 oz can of Titina's tomatoes.

Puree tomatoes with juice in blender.

Saute onion and celery in butter.

Add flour.

Add milk.

Slowly add pureed tomatoes that have been warmed separately.

Ready to freeze.

This will be ready for a cold fall or winter evening.  Yum!
