Directions

1
Blend tomatoes, half of onions, celery, garlic, and green pepper in blender to desired level of chunkiness. We like our sauce fairly smooth, so we blend ours for a good long while on the chop setting.
2
Transfer blended vegetables to a very large pot (at least 8 quarts). Add spices, tomato paste, mushrooms, and remaining onions. Cook for 3 hours, or until desired consistency is reached.
3
Remove bay leaves.
4
Preserve as desired. Makes 2 to 3 quarts.
