Yield 10 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 yellow onion
3-4 carrots
3 stalks celery
Small handful green beans (3-4 oz)
1/2 head cabbage
6-8 oz mushrooms
2 packets onion soup mix (lowest sodium available)
2 quarts water
Butter or EVOO for sauteing veggies

Steps:

  • - Peel your onion and cut in 1/2 pole-to-pole. Slice each half into 1/4 inch strips. (Cut on the equator and into traditional "half moons" yields a stringy textured onion) Carmelize in a little butter or EVOO over medium low heat - just like doing a french onion soup. (20-30 minutes maybe) - While onions are carmelizing, cut up celery, carrot, beans, and cabbage for addition to the soup. Leave mushrooms whole. - After onions are carmelized, add the rest of the veggies, and sweat for a couple of minutes. (EXCEPT mushrooms) - Add the water - deglaze pot - Add 2 packets of onion soup mix - Add whole mushrooms - Bring to boil, then simmer for 1 hour or so - After simmering is completed and veggies are tender, remove the whole mushrooms and place in blender with enough stock from the pot to make a smooth puree. Then return the puree to the soup, and stir to incorporate.
