And killing all the good gut bacteria?

[@EspressoDave411]

hi, love the quick to the poiint, but, whats roux? (make roux T butter/flour...thanks.

[@EspressoDave411]

think i figured it out, roux is like a gravy starter? butter, flour, heat, stir, thickens, add the tomato mixture

[@CollinsCountry]

+Espresso Dave Hey! Yes, a roux is made with butter and milk. It thickens the tomato soup. It’s a base for a lot of soup recipes in the country:)

[@EspressoDave411]

@@CollinsCountry thanks!

[@user-ch6mq3fv3m]

Can I water bath this? I don’t have a pressure canner 😬

[@CollinsCountry]

+Ashley Rushinka absolutely! Tomatoes can be pressure canned or water bath canned:) the times are on the recipe and in the description if you would rather water bath:)

[@charolny8403]

For those of us who do not screen shot - and since you didn't tell us how much sugar or salt - athe recipe in the description would have been nice.

[@CollinsCountry]

+CHAR OLNY Hello there! You’re absolutely right! I try my best to keep my videos short and to the point, so I don’t mention measurements as I make I videos. I will start adding that info into the description to help people. And it was 1 teaspoon salt:) Thanks for the advice!

[@xXxM1LKYW4YxXx]

Is the salt and sugar, teaspoon or tablespoon measurements?

[@CollinsCountry]

+xXxM1LKYW4YxXx Hey! The lower case t is teaspoon and the uppercase T is tablespoon. Sorry. I should explain that in my videos. I don’t think that’s “correct” abbreviations but it’s how my family has always done it haha. It’s probably a hillbilly thing lol. Enjoy! :)

[@CollinsCountry]

+xXxM1LKYW4YxXx Also- sorry! I just realized that I didn’t put the recipe or directions in the description. I added it so that people could easily read it. My handwriting on that recipe is horrible 😂

[@katselfcentaured]

Please post the recipe.

[@CollinsCountry]

Hello there! The recipe is in the link in the description that I just posted:) Enjoy! And let me know if you have any questions...

[@katselfcentaured]

@@CollinsCountry thank you very much!

[@lindseylipstick7258]

Can you do this with a water bath ?

[@kimberlyu1308]

So can you not can flour and butter? I'm hearing it's a no-no. 😔

[@Niceynaturalshomestead]

Not safe!

[@Niceynaturalshomestead]

Oh that's funny Kimberly I didn't realize that was you commenting on the video

[@CollinsCountry]

+Kimberly U Hey! Butter can be canned but it has to be pressure canned because it is a low acid food:) Flour isn’t “unsafe” according to the usda reccomend stinks, it just hasn’t been tested yet to see if it’s safe or not. This is an Amish canning recipe and I have done it with no issues. If you’re not comfortable with it then use tomato paste instead:) But the butter and flour adds a delicious flavor! I just ate a can yesterday from July of 2022 and it was perfection:)

[@KathyMeade-lp6gl]

It is a definite, no, no!

[@sunshinescurse]

About how much is a serving 8,12,16 oz?

[@CollinsCountry]

+@sunshinescurse It just depends on how much you use:)

[@KathyMeade-lp6gl]

Very bad advice. You cannot pressure can anything with a dairy product in it, let alone flour also. If you’re going to can the soup, do it without roux. Can it with just the tomato base and then add the roux when you’re ready to eat it. Never pressure can anything with butter, milk, cream or flour in it !!!!

[@CollinsCountry]

+Kathy Meade Hey! I always tell people to can within their comfort zone. It is not usda recommended to can with flour but my family and thousand of people have been doing it for decades. Historically, there weren’t thousands of canning books as access for rural families. They just figured out how to can stuff themselves. I know people that can butter for long term food preservation, Mac and cheese (that has flour and dairy in it), etc. people have figured out on their own how to can basically ANYTHING at home because unfortunately in 2023 our government has failed us and they still have not tested canning hundreds of ingredients for home canning. You can pressure can dairy products and flour just fine. I have done it hundreds of times and the Amish have been doing it for decades. If you aren’t comfortable, then follow usda guidelines. There is no harm in that:) Happy canning season!

[@markmadson851]

Looks like a bloody Mary Mix!

[@CollinsCountry]

+Mark Madson haha maybe. I’ve never had one… 🤔

[@Niceynaturalshomestead]

Please at least put a disclaimer on your video saying that this is not a tested and approved recipe. Canning flour and dairy is not approved and should not be

[@Niceynaturalshomestead]

And you should be peeling those tomatoes

[@KathyMeade-lp6gl]

Absolutely! So glad you caught this! You should never ever can anything with dairy products in it or flour

[@CollinsCountry]

Hey! I understand that this is not a USDA approved method. Unfortunately, the USDA has not put the time or money into testing everything for home canning. Fortunately for me, I come from a family that "figured it out." They taught themselves how to safely can hundreds of different food items back before there were canning cook books or regulations. You actually can use dairy and flour in canning recipes, it just is not usda approved and it must be pressure canned. People can Mac and Cheese all the time which obviously has dairy and flour in it:) I have used butter in canning for a long time and it works great! I will make it more clear though that some of my canning videos are not usda approved. If only the internet strangers could see how my grandparents can food in giant steel tubs over fires in their backyard. There would be no more people on the internet because they would all die of heart attacks from watching the "not-approved" methods old country people use. lol But Thousands of jars have been canned that way by my family for decades and no botulism or spoiled food. All is good:)

[@CollinsCountry]

And i forgot to respond to the peeling tomato questions- There is more than one way to skin a cat and there is more than one way to peel a tomato :)

[@markmadson851]

Damn runny

[@CollinsCountry]

+Mark Madson I love it this way. Boiling it longer makes it thicker
