Things to Kn0,U

A perfectly delicious and unusual din
ner soup can be made by peeling white
onions, sliciBg them very fine, and fry
ing them very delicateN in butter. Add
to this the quantity of water needed
for the soup. To this add six bouillon
cubes when the liquid Is very hot. Toast
six squares of bread and spread with
grated cheese. Place these in the bottom
of a baking pan Pour the soup over
them and sprinkle grated cheese on top
of the soup and put in the oven TO
bake for about fifteen minutes. When
serving, put one piece of toast in each
plate and pour the soup over K.
This makes an excellent soup for
the Thanksgiving dinner. In making it
be sure the onions are sliced very fine.
Otherwise il is apt to be heavy. For
six people use a pint Of onions.
