Onion Soup

I remember as a child, that my mom would only make onion soup for her and my dad. I think she did that because my brother Chris was a picky eater and wouldn’t have eaten anything with onions that were visible. Come to think of it, he doesn’t do that today, I once pureed onions in a lasagna I was making because I knew he would pick around them. ( Aren’t I such a nice sister?)

Below is my mom’s recipe for onion soup. Enjoy!
