Onion soup

[coloradoclyde]

I made onion soup for supper.....
Anyone else like onion soup or make a spring onion soup?

I'm a fan of French Onion Soup, which I have also made at home on occasion.

 

[coloradoclyde]

I had a bunch of onions that needed to be used or would soon have to be discarded....Took 3 hours to make a good soup....it was delicious...Had some croutons made from rye bread, a little parmesan cheese........and a nice milk stout from Colorado.... :thumbsup:

Clyde, you are cruel!!!

The soup would have been a nice appetizer with the roast pork loin we had.

Now if someone else had just thrown in a nice pie, supper would be complete.

I like my soup...I make homemade soup at least once a week....

One of my favorites (possibly first favorite) soups. I search for onion soup at every restaurant I visit. Some are great,,,,, some not so much.

Have you tried to make Pho? I have only had it a few times myself. It is a soup that is all about the beef/bone broth. I had it for breakfast years ago, can't get a good Pho here, might have to road trip to Saltlake Or Denver.....or see if I can make it myself :hmm: It starts with baked beef bones & an onion roasted until black :grin:

Along with a collection of many other ingredients. Delicious!

Have you tried to make Pho?

No but I have had Pho Bo noodle soup...(the rammen noodle type found at Asian grocery stores)
It's so-so...

A bowl of Pho from a Vietnamese restaurant is delicious, though not as delicious (to me) as a bowl of traditional Udon soup from a Japanese restaurant. Both, however, are pretty much at or near the top of the scale (but there are good and there are bad, without much in the middle)...

As I understand it Pho is all about the slow cooked broth so those packaged soups just won't represent the true thing, about like a salsberry steak TV dinner representing a grilled steak. Pho makes agree at rainy day breakfast :wink:

VERY TRUE. = ALL of the so-called "prepared pho" from the supermarket make me GAG.

ONLY "the real deal" from a Vietnamese-owned restaurant for me, PLEASE. = Make mine an extra large bowl with everything, including meatballs & with extra noodles AND with at least 2 glasses of Vietnamese iced coffee.

I like soups, French onion is one of my favorites. A good hunk of bagette and onion soup with real onion slices...a bit of swiss cheese.

Also like pho (short "o"). Love the noodles and the thin-sliced beef and vegetables in the hot broth.

Not a soup, but a Vietnamese dish...cold noodles with a couple of spring rolls on top, nouc mam sauce. Really good.

Back to soups: Udon is good, so is the Udon hot pots which are a thick soup with fish and shrimp. Very good.

Yesterday.....You're a day late and a dollar short... :haha:

 

[satx78247]

YEP, understood. Just my luck. - Same old, same old. Darn it!!!

Though as much as I like onion soup, IF I'm invited to supper, best make a BIG tureen full.

The camp cooking section is the most dangerous part of the Forum. :wink:

I have to look up my recipe for onion soup. We do the food shopping tomorrow and I have to be sure we have all the ingredients. A big bowl of the soup with a grilled cheese sandwich of caraway rye bread, swiss and cheddar is great.

Never tried it but has anyone made onion soup in a slow cooker?

 

[coloradoclyde]

caraway rye bread,

I had a package of sliced caraway rye bread the kind like you make cucumber sandwiches out of(2' squares"....I coated some with olive oil and some with butter and put them in the oven and toasted them into big croutons....some I put parmesan cheese on...

Once the onions were caramelized it would work fine..
I spend about an hour or so caramelizing the onions then let it simmer for another couple hours........Good soup takes time.... :grin:
