My mum used to make the best tomato soup - and all I can remember about it other than how wonderful it tasted was that it had celery seeds in it.If you can help with a recipe for this - I would be most grateful for any suggestions or links at all.

This one has celery salt, not seeds. I make it every year and freeze into containers when cold. 6kg tomatoes, 2tblsp celery salt, 1 tblsp chopped parsley, 1 small cup sugar, 2tsp black pepper, 1 tblsp salt, 7 whole cloves. Boil all this for approx. 30 minutes or until tomatoes are soft. Strain though mouly. (I just whizz it up in the kitchen whizz and then strain through a strainer). When cold into containers and freeze. Very easy and tasty.

Hmm, bumping an old thread was no where near as fun as I thought it might have been. Maybe I just have better things to do. As you were! PS. Those recipes sound pretty good though. I hope the OP has tried them.

I chop up two or three onions and fry in some butter with garlic, As much as you like for the taste. Then add in 5 tins of chopped tomatoes, Some chopped basil and as much celery seeds as you like for flavour and water. If I add to much water.I just throw in more tins of tomatoes. Salt and pepper it and serve hot with cheese scones. Easy and cheap to make!

This is my mother in law's recipe that I make and it's beautiful! I freeze the tomatoes first then quickly run each one under cold water and the skin wipes off.
Tomato Soup 14lb tomatos, 7 onions, 2c sugar, 7 bay leaves, 1tsp pepper, 14 sprigs parsley, ½lb butter, 1oz celery seed, 8Tbsp flour, 2Tbsp salt Tie spices in a muslin bag. Boil all except the flour and butter till soft. Remove spice bag and either puree in a blender/food processor or rub through a sieve. Melt butter and add flour and mix until smooth. Add to puree and slowly boil for 5minutes. And finally bottle When using, add an equal amount of water, stock or milk.
