ONION SOUP.


We suggest this as a good hot
"send-off" for the meal, and it is
usually relished by every one for
its rich, savory goodness. Also, it
Is simplicity itself for the housewife
to prepare. Purchase a can or two
of any reliable brand of onion soup
If you discuss the matter with
your grocer, and tell him that you
want the real French type, he will
be glad to recommend the best he
has to you. Heat this by dumping
the contents of the cans into a
double boiler, onions and all. Let
heat slowly, and meanwhile, season
the soup well with salt, a little
worcestershire sauce, and, If the
stock does not seem rich enough to
you, add q bouillon cube or some
meat extract as you wish. Toast
thick slices of crusty French bread
very lightly, and put one slice in
the bottom Of each soup plate. Uf
you have the little covered indi-
vidual pottery soup pots, they are
ideal for the purpose) Pour the
hot soup over the toasted bread
slices into the plates, and sprinkle
a teaspoonful Of Parmesan cheese,
grated, on top of the soup. Serve
at once and be ready for re-
quests for seconds!
