Okra Soup

2 pounds okra, sliced
2 medium onions, chopped
3 Tablespoons oil
2 (15 oz.each) cans tomatoes
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1/4 pound bacon, chopped
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper


Saute okra and onions in oil for about 6 minutes; set aside. Combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, bell pepper and bacon in a large pot and simmer for 20 minutes. Place okra and onions on top of tomato mixture, add salt and pepper. Simmer on low heat for 1 1/2 hours

Serves 10

Note:
The bacon can be cooked crisp and sprinkled over the top of each serving if desired. We like this served over rice and with cornbread.
