The older woman is my step-mom. And the other 3 my kids. I set up a second personal page using my alternate email for creativesavv, so that I could connect with your group. I think it all worked out.

I'll keep working on it and maybe set up another FB page as a personal one. <br /><br />Okay, so I can get to your page through one of your likes on my FB, but I don't see an option to join or even like your page. From what I understand, this is a fault of website or business FB pages. I will keep looking around later this evening. Don't give up on me, Ha ha!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-67644420465147591502019-09-14T11:56:54.276-07:002019-09-14T11:56:54.276-07:00Thanks for your help.

One 6-oz can of tomato paste should make about 24 to 30 ounces of soup. Don't leave it to cook for a long time, though, as the acid in the tomato paste can cause the milk solids to separate. It's delicious and turns a vegetable-based soup into something with protein and calcium.

I wish to my home made cream of tomato soup. I now have 6 oz cans of tomato paste, at your suggestion, as well as pint of my home canned, quartered tomatoes and tomato sauce. How would I go about making tomato soup (probably subbing in milk for any water/broth called for)? I looked on your blog, couldn't find anything. THanks in advance.

If you have a 6 oz can of paste, how much water would be needed? one can? two? Any direction you can give is appreciated. </b><br /><br />Hi Carol,<br />If you used a 6 oz can of tomato paste, I would try just under 2 cups of water, which would be a little more than 2 cans of water. When I make pizza sauce, I use a 1:2 (paste:water) ratio for a thick sauce or 1:3 for a thin sauce. If you add the water in parts, stirring in between additions, you could see if the thickness was about what you like without having to boil it down (after adding too much water). Lawry's mix packet calls for 2 1/4 cups of water for 1 6 oz can of tomato paste. However, the packets have thickeners (in the form of corn starch), so more water is used than if making sauce without a thickener.<br /><br />I hope this helps.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-81564067450693704932019-08-27T04:21:31.599-07:002019-08-27T04:21:31.599-07:00Lili, I am intrigued with this.

I think that's it. That is how my mother always made spaghetti sauce, and that's how I began, myself. Using a mix packet is definitely simple.<br />Your spaghetti sauce with extra ingredients sounds delicious. Personally, I like lots of chunks in my sauce, so I will add any leftover veggies that we happen to have on hand, as well as the tomato paste and herbs, spices, onions, garlic, and salt.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-7855676059006494362019-08-22T07:24:39.768-07:002019-08-22T07:24:39.768-07:00I tend to find tomato sauce and canned tomatoes st...I tend to find tomato sauce and canned tomatoes st salvage grocery stores.
