simple onion soup recipe?

Post by Daehawk »

Anyone got a simple one to make with little items? My wife is sick today with a stomach sick and fever. She loves onion soup but I dotn have much to make it with.

Things I have...

butter
bullion cubes
2 large vidalia onions
water
milk
flour
salt
pepper
assorted other things

dont have....

wine
cheese
broth
instant onion soup mix :)

I found this one and can tweak it to leave out the wine and cheese

I only like French onion soup and it's not simple to make and requires a hell of lot more onions (no instant soup mix, that's just wrong). Croutons, wine and cheese are not optional.

That recipe seems fine, although I don't agree with their "quick" method of cooking the onions for 6-7 mins over medium heat. You want to get them to caramelize properly, do the first couple of minutes over medium heat, and then if you don't have olive oil, at least aim for about 15 minutes over low heat (any longer, and the butter will burn regardless). You can also add about quarter teaspoon of sugar to the onion/butter mixture while it's caramelizing (before you pour in the liquid bouillon).

Last time I made it took 3 hours. I don't make it very often for that reason.
