I often preserve this tomato soup base before adding the butter, flour, and milk, usually every other year. You can adjust the quantity to your needs. I typically prepare around 80 jars at once, mainly in October when the weather is cooler.

Instructions

Process the tomatoes using a food mill to eliminate seeds and skins, then transfer to a large pot and heat over medium. Incorporate bouillon, sugar, salt, bay leaf, basil, and pepper, stirring well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. (If canning, process the mixture at this stage.)
In a separate small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour all at once, whisking continuously to create a roux; cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring constant stirring until the mixture thickens. Combine with the tomato mixture and heat thoroughly.
