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.

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

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat melt butter.

  2. Slice onion into rings, add to pan, and cook until caramelized.

  3. Add a pinch of marjoram, thyme, and Old Bay Seasoning.

  4. Add Bisquick and stir until it is well incorporated, forming a roux.

  5. Add soy sauce and water and bring to a boil while stirring. Soup will thicken.

  6. Pepper to taste and serve with a crusty bread (optional).
