Onion Soup. Skin and scald two large onions (see Onions) ; dry them, cut them into thin slices ; fry them in two ounces of hot fat till a pale yellow colour, then stir in one ounce and a half of flour. Next add three pints of cold water or stock ; stir to boiling, then add half a teaspoonful of salt and a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Simmer twenty minutes, stir- ring constantly. It may be passed through a sieve or not according to taste. Pour it into the tureen upon one ounce of grated cheese

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
