Hamersley's Red Onion Soup (page 58)

I bought a huge bag of red onions at Costco because it was such a good deal and my husband likes to add a tablespoon or so to his Caesar salad.  I was wondering what I was going to do with all of these onions when I came across this recipe.  Problem solved!

This is one of Hamersley's more time consuming recipes--lots of vegetable to dice, broth to strain, and vegetables to be puree.  It also uses a lot of pots and pans.

If you make this recipe, I would recommend doubling it so you don't have a lot of ingredients left over.  For example, one batch uses 1/2 potato and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.  If you double the recipe you can use a whole potato and the whole can of tomato paste. 

The bottom line:  A very delicious and unique tasting soup but it is surpassed by the Onion Soup Au Gratin.
