How to Make Flavorful Tomato Juice
- Combine 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 4 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste) in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until tomatoes are very soft.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Carefully transfer the tomato mixture to a blender (work in batches if necessary) and blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or skins (optional, for extra smooth juice).
- Return the strained juice to the saucepan.
- Bring the juice to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low, uncover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until reduced to approximately 3 cups, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Transfer the cooled tomato juice to a pitcher or container.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
- Serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
