Quick Onion Soup
Over the weekend I was watching a video on the Townsend’s YouTube Channel. They focus on 18th century life and cooking. What caught my eye was a recipe for onion soup. Of course, I didn’t have all of the ingredients, and I came up with my own seasoning mix. I think I created a pretty good modern take on a 200 year old onion soup that can be made in about 30 minutes using just a few ingredients.
Ingredients
2 Sweet Onions
4 Tablespoons of Butter
1 Teaspoon of Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon of Bisquick
2 Cups of Water
Marjoram
Thyme
Old Bay Seasoning
Pepper to Taste
Directions
In a saucepan over medium heat melt butter.
Slice onion into rings, add to pan, and cook until caramelized.
Add a pinch of marjoram, thyme, and Old Bay Seasoning.
Add Bisquick and stir until it is well incorporated, forming a roux.
Add soy sauce and water and bring to a boil while stirring. Soup will thicken.
Pepper to taste and serve with a crusty bread (optional).
