Wow, this is ripped off from the New Basics Cookbook (pg. 95) by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. You ought to give some credit to the original recipe. -
This recipe was just okay for us. I thought the soup was a bit bland and this is after adding additional fresh thyme, extra black pepper, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, and a bit of fresh rosemary. I used fat free half and half, maybe that's why we thought it was bland? I'm glad I tried this recipe, (it was super easy to make) but it's probably one I wouldn't make again. -
Nice soup and a good change from traditional french onion soup! I used only 1 head of garlic, and added 1 peeled and diced potato to additional stock and boiled it. Then I poured in the oven-onion-broth mixture to the potato broth pan and pureed it all with my stick blender. After adjusting the seasonings and adding half and half, i did decide to add about 1 tsp of wocstershire sauce. I will make this again. Thanks for the recipe! -
Excellent flavor. I bet it would be good as a base for potato chunks, clams, and/or corn because of the rich savory flavor. Made with Fat Free Half and Half.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.
