Roasted Onion Soup



Ingredients

  • 3 lbs (6 large) sweet onions

  • 1 half gal of whole milk
  • 3 cup water
  • salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • olive oil
  • 4 tbl floor
  • 10 tbl of butter

This meal is simple to make but involves time. It is something I can start and then head for the gym for a workout. It goes well with fresh bread or pita bread. A single bowl of soup is quite filling and tastes better as a leftover.

  1. Preheat the oven to 275 F.
  2. Slice the onions into a rough piece. Generally, I will remove the tops and roots portion and slice in half and cut it into 1/8 segments. Place in a oven dish, which has top. Slice 8 tbl of butter into small pieces and disperse over the top of the onions. Cover and place in the oven for 2 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally.
  3. Remove the onions from the oven and added 1 1/2 of water and mix and return to the oven for another 45 minutes.
  4. Pour the milk into a large pan (12 quarts) and bring it up to a temperature where it is just starting to bubble. Place the flour and the 1 1/2 cups of water in a closed container and mix throughly. Pour the flour mixture into the milk and stir continuously. You want to make a white sauce, which is thickened milk.
  5. Once the milk has the thickened consistancy add the garlic, salt and pepper to taste. The thickness should be the consistancy of pudding(weak)
  6. Remove the onions from oven and pour the mixture into the soup with the all the juice from the onions.
  7. Simmer for about 20 minutes and melt two tbls of butter before you serve. It adds a creamy flavor to the soup.


Enjoy!
