3. I use tomatoes in so many things.

I make spaghetti sauce with them because I like it chunky. I put them in my chili and soups. I make what we always called goulash with elbow macaroni, beef, peppers, and tomatoes. And of course, stewed tomatoes.

By the way, I freeze peppers too in freezer bags too. But they are more work at the time I put them up....I dice them and just put them in the bags and freeze. If you dice them or the tomatoes before freezing, it is so easy to store them in the freezer because they can just be laid flat in the freezer.

I have never made homemade tomato soup but it sounds wonderful.

Every year, I freeze tomatoes. Curmudgeoness Aug 2014 #1
