Question by B.: How do you measure a quart of tomatoes?
I’ve noticed a lot of recipes call for a “quart” (give or take) of tomatoes and I’ve always wondered how exactly you figure that? This canned tomato soup recipe I have calls for 8 quarts but I don’t know if that is the amount of cooked down tomatoes to put in there? Any thoughts appreciated!

tomatoes are measured differently depending on thier condition……..like whole fresh can some times be measured in a dry quart and tomato soup in a quart by volume. but it is not the cooked amount

Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe
The average accepted weight of a bushel of tomatoes is 53 pounds. This can vary depending upon the type/size/weight of the differing tomatoes, but generally 53 pounds is the US agricultural accepted weight.
There are 32 dry quarts in a bushel, so divide 53 by 32 and you get about 1.66 pounds of tomatoes in a quart.
The recipe you have for canned tomato soup used the dry quart measure, not the liquid 32 ounce quart. Again, depending upon the tomato (if you are using Roma, this will be okay), for 8 quarts of tomatoes you would buy 13 1/4 pounds of tomatoes.
I just canned tomato soup a couple weeks ago, myself! Now I am canning potatoes, nectarines, oh my a whole host of stuff. LOL
Wish you success!
