@TOR, I love Thai Curry too! All year actually. Thanks for your recipe!

I use the attached recipe for mine, and do not buy Thai curry paste. This way you can make it as hot or mild as you like by tweaking the ingredients.

Tomato Soup for Canning recipe, better than commercial!

8 pounds ripe tomatoes **unpeeled & quartered (I use multiple types: grape/beef-steak/early-girl/sauce...makes for great-unique flavor.)
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 cups onion, diced
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped..*I have used dried also 2-3 Tablespoon
6 bay leaves, whole
3/4 cup ultra-gel, sure-gel or thermo-gel, any canning thickener (not corn starch)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 Tablespoon salt (optional)..*I use canning salt or sea salt
1/4 cup sugar (optional)..*I use brown sugar

Place tomatoes, celery, onion, parsley, and Bay leaves in large pot.
Cook gently, uncovered, until tender, stirring as needed. I like to cook till 1/4 reduced.
Remove all Bay leaves

*Next step, 2 methods:
#1 Press through a food strainer or sieve into a large sauce pan/pot.
#2 My method: put cooled mixture into blender and puree' till smooth.
I work in batches of course it is a lot of "soup".
I then pour the pureed' mixture through a fine sieve to "catch" any particles
The soup the is strained into the large pot should be smooth like commercial soup. From time to time I have to rinse off the strainer.
Set aside 2 cups of puree to cool.
Whisk together Ultra Gel (thicker of your choice) & cooled tomato puree to form a slurry.
I continually whisk to make sure nothing burns/sticks to pan-bottom.
Add Salt & Sugar if desired.
When ready to make soup just heat with equal amount of liquid such as milk, water or chicken broth.
* We add just a little milk and sometimes a touch of butter.

When I am ready to can, I put them, frozen, into sink with lukewarm water, this allows for the skins to slip right off, quick rinse, drain and cut into quarters, continue with recipe & good to go!

2. Whisk together the sour cream and flour in a bowl to make a paste. Slowly add 1 cup of the hot broth from the pot, whisking until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour the creamy mixture into the pot and whisk until smooth. Stir in the pickle juice, salt, and pepper.

4. Cook for 5 more minutes, to thicken slightly, and remove from heat. Scoop into bowls and garnish with additional pickles and/or fresh dill. Enjoy!
