So, two days ago, I made a batch of caramelized onions<\/a>, because Hex was getting a tooth pulled and wanted onion soup. Today I am using a third of the onions to make the soup.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what makes Italian onion soup different from French, except this does not have gobs of cheese and toast in it. But it does have brandy.<\/p>\n

Here is the soup stock. It’s a mix of chicken carcass soup and store bought beef base, to make it richer and tastier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the base I like if I have no stock:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And here is my collection. Mmmmmm…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyway, there is about two quarts overall of stock in here. I will add the two and half pounds worth of onions I caramelized earlier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That will simmer for 25 minutes. After that, it will be hit with a quarter cup of brandy and cooked a couple of minutes more.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

(This is my cooking and liquor making brandy.)<\/p>\n

And served with a spoonful of grated cheese in the bottom of the bowl. Romano in our house, what ever you want to in yours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And that’s it. Simple, rich, and easy to throw together if you have the onions on hand. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
