I want to know if it is possible to can creamy tomato soup with whipping cream or half-and-half added. If anyone has tried it, please let me know. Thank You.

I haven't done it. I haven't heard of it. You could try doing it the way you ask: Take a small amount of the tomato soup, add some cream or half-and-half; Process that small quantity as though you were canning the whole batch of soup. Can that amount. In a month or two, taste it. If it passes your smell and taste test, perhaps the next time you make the soup, you'll make, process and can the entire batch with the cream or half-and-half. It makes more sense to can the plain tomato soup. THEN as you're in the mood to eat that canned soup, as its being heated, add the desired amount of cream or half-and-half. Doing that helps to assure a fresher, more palatable tomato soup. In my opinion, there's no sense risking your health or the health of others for the sake of convenience. Thanks for asking your Q!

My husband actually likes a little bit of sour cream mixed in the tomato soup. That makes it creamy. I have also used milk which makes it a little creamy. I have not used whipping cream or half and half but that would probably do the same.

Here is a link showing a recipe for creamy tomato soup and a freezing method. I wasn't able to find anything about canning it, I don't think it is possible with the dairy product added. http://www.whiskblog.com/2008/11/fill-freezercream-of-tomato-soup.html

yep...just don't let the soup go to a boil otherwise it will curdle...and that is so NOT nice! Just heat it enough to warm it thru...delish!
