My first onion soup



Yes, I'm still experimenting with recipes I've never made before. When Abbey Gardens closed down, I got a HUGE bag of onions that would've been thrown away. In fact, I thought they had been tossed til I got home and found out they'd been put in the van for me. So what do you do with 20 lbs of onions? I made onion soup. It was interesting since I've never even TASTED onion soup, I've only seen pictures of it. I made it with organic beef broth, I took an hour or more to slowly sautee the onions to perfection, and the toast and cheese on top really topped it off well. Even "Middle Child" who claims to hate onions tasted it and said, "Well, I guess I can't say I don't like onions anymore."

I can't wait to see what's next! Maybe something with that odd food I saw at the store called "jicama" (HICK-a-muh)?
