Vegetable Juice Cocktail

So I must be really worried about losing this recipe, because I am adding it now. (It's 2:00
AM, but I am not feeling well and my face hurts) See the previous post to figure out what I am doing.
2/3 bushel tomatoes
6 medium onions
2 stalks celery
2 large green peppers
20 sprigs parsley (not bunches...I go really light on this)
5 bay leaves
1/2 c. Salt
1 c. Sugar
1 tsp. Black Pepper
Wash and chop vegetables. Place all ingredients in a large kettle and cook until veggies are tender. Juice (Foley Food Mill) Process 15 minutes. 12 Qts. I don't remember which library book I found this in years ago. I usually add some lemon juice to each quart for safety precautions. This makes a fabulous soup base. We have added sausage, pasta, frozen meatballs and tortellini or ravioli for a great dinner. Go ahead and comment about my strange sleep habits tonight. I keep working on the new QR codes for the library when I fall asleep so I guess I will dream during work tomorrow.Haha.
