4 Tbsp butter
½ cup – 1 cup diced onions
4 lbs tomatoes, diced
¼ tsp thyme
½ tsp basil
¼ tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp flour
2 cups vegetable stock or chicken broth
¼ tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp sugar
1 ½ cups evaporated milk (12 oz can)
½ tsp salt
6-10 slices of bacon
In a large saucepan, saute the onions in the butter until tender, about 10 minutes (do not brown). Add the tomatoes, thyme, basil and pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Whisk the broth and flour together and add to the soup mixture. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, then remove from heat.
Fry the bacon until crispy and let cool, then crumble. Puree the soup in a blender, then return to the stove. Stir in the baking soda, sugar, milk, salt, and bacon. Heat, stirring, to a bare simmer, just to get it hot again.
Serves 3-4 people.

This is how my mom makes stuffing for Thanksgiving.
Ingredients:
cornbread
bread
onions
celery
butter
sage
soup stock
salt
Make a batch of cornbread. Cut into cubes after it's baked.
Gather different kinds of bread and rolls you have around. Stale bread is okay. Tear or cut the bread into cubes. Have an equal amount of cornbread and other bread.
Mix the cornbread and the other bread together in large bowl.
Saute chopped onions and chopped celery in butter.
Mix onions and celery into the breads.
Add a lot of ground sage to taste.
Add chicken/turkey broth or vegetable stock. Add enough to moisten the bread, especially if some is stale, but not so much that it turns into a gluey, soggy lump.
Add salt if the stock/broth you used was not salty.
At this point taste it and add more sage/salt/broth as necessary.
Spread it into a baking pan and warm it in the oven until it's warm all the way.
