We have always loved onion soup, sometimes called French onion
soup, and we used to order it in restaurants at every opportunity.
That gave us a large number of disappointments as we discovered
that many restaurants do not do a bang up job. Therefore, we
were happily surprised when I tried it at home and discovered
it was not all that difficult to make. Now, when we have onion
soup, it's at home. In restaurants we order something we know
they can make, like bean soup. |
Here is a tip which will appeal to some folks and, probably,
make some folks nauseous.
For a different taste, try mixing your favorite beer or ale,
half and half, with tomato juice. Then add a dash of tabasco. |
