Recipe for "onion-soup-1"

NAME

     ONION-SOUP-1 - Easy onion soup
     This recipe came from some ancient recipe cards we have.  It
     makes  a  great  starter  and  is  almost  trivially easy to
     prepare.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-6)

     750 g     onions
     1 l       beef stock
     50 g      butter
               salt, pepper

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Peel and slice the onions thinly.
          (2)  Fry the onions in the butter until  golden  brown.
               This will take about 30 minutes.
          (3)  Add the stock and simmer for 30 minutes.
          (4)  Season and serve.

NOTES

     The amount of onions can be varied down to  about  half  the
     amount  given  above. Onion soup in no way makes me a canni-
     bal.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 5 minutes preparation, 1 hour cook-
     ing.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
