California Farm Smoked Onion Soup
Smoked onion soup is a light meal with a strong flavor and brown color without butter, without beef broth, without slices of cheese or fried eggs, so the broth is not fatty at all.
French onion soup is a heavy meal with a mild flavor, it gets its flavor and color from carmelizing the onion in a pan with butter, and from beef broth, bread, fried egg, and lots of cheese.
I make four pints of smoked onion soup broth at a time, keep the onions and the broth in pint containers in the fridge or freezer and pour one in a cast iron soup bowl with lid when ready to serve. I top it with fresh french bread, a poached egg,crumbs of smoked cheese, and a wedge of lime, ready in ten minutes at 450F degrees.

Red onions are our favorites. Frying the onions in butter or olive oil gives the soup its flavor. Frying the peels gives the soup its color. Use a cast iron soup pot or cast iron skillet that you can slide under the oven broiler to roast the sliced bread and cheese on top.

Here in New York, this soup is very popular. As we head into fall, this onion soup is perfect for the chilly weather. Of course, it made me tear up a bit while cutting the onions, since I bought the stronger kind for this soup.

French Onion Soup French Onion Soup
A classic dish for banquet evenings—you know, when you've spent the whole afternoon eating, dancing, playing, laughing... There's always a grandma who says around 8 PM, "Let's set the table for onion soup." That grandma is often mine! And here's her recipe. I love making this soup often because it needs just a few ingredients.

I made this soup solely to utilize this hard French bread that I had. Hahaha... so I used a whole bag of onions to essentially save some croutons. Well worth it.

Easy Onion Soup Easy Onion Soup
I love the sweetness of onions.Cut onions against the grain to break the fiber. If you don't do this, the onion will not have a soft texture.It burns easily when you sauté with butter, so please stir constantly.If you put bread and cheese on top of the soup and brown it in the oven, it will turn into onion gratin soup!
