How Do You Make Quick And Easy French Onion Soup?
Today’s busy lifestyles mean that we often have less time to cook from scratch. Luckily, there are a myriad of excellent products on the market today that can serve as a cooking base. Such is the case with my favorite recipe for French onion soup. It can be made in less than 30 minutes or less. If you don’t have the ingredients readily on hand, go to the grocery store to obtain them. Cut one small to medium sized onion into pieces no bigger than one inch in length. Caramelize the onions in butter or margerine until they are soft. This can either be done in the microwave or in a pan on the stove. Using one can of condensed French onion soup for each person you intend to serve, place the appropriate amount into a saucepan. Reduce the water requirement listed on the can by two-thirds to one-half, depending upon how rich you want the soup base to be. Add the extra caramelized onions to the soup and mix thoroughly. Add one tablespoon of parsley flakes and one teaspoon of chives to the soup
