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.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
