Onion Soup Provencal 2 Preparation

Source: St Mary Mead Archives, adapted from Time-Life series, _The Good Cook_, Soups Saute onions until limp and transparent, slightly golden. Add minced garlic and saute for about 2 minutes more. While the onions are frying, heat chicken (or vegetable) broth. Reserve a scant 1/4 cup of hot broth, and add crushed saffron to it. Let rest until saffron is dissolved, and add solution to the rest of the broth. Heat oven to 350:F. Put a layer of bread slices in large-ish casserole dish. Place a layer of onions on top of bread slices. Keep layering this way until casserole is almost full (two or three layers). Take a funnel and insert it in a corner of the casserole; pour broth into funnel so as not to disturb the bread layers. If serving a milchig dinner or lunch sprinkle cheese on top of casserole. Place in oven and bake until top is brown and soup is bubbly; about 45 minutes. This dry soup is amenable to many variations. For example, peeled, seeded, diced tomatoes (drained for 1/2 hour) may be added to the layers, and/or pieces of chicken for a lighter Sabbath meal (soup, salad, side veggie). B.

It”s $12.00(US) for 2 grams, (which doesn”t sound like a lot, but remember, it”s feather-light). Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest V97 #044 by Brian Mailman <bmailman@hooked.net> on Feb 10, 1997.
