Well, now I know why I've never heard of it; it's not
available at my local stores. Netgrocer has it, but shipping
is $9.99. I'll have to look around more. Dang, I was hoping
to make that tonight.. :-(

Usally you can approximate or do better than canned or jar stuff without
a lot of trouble. It seems simple enough to make and here is one:

Sounds yummy.... but I like to make a nice, rich french type onion soup.
:-)

I take a couple of whole red onions and white onions and chop them, then
sautee them in butter and olive oil until they are clear and tender.

I add that to beef stock or canned beef broth if I don't have any
roasted bone stock on hand, and bring up to a good simmer. I simmer for
about 1/2 hour, then pour the onion soup into soup cups or bowls. Top
with grated cheddar/jack cheese (or mozarella) and croutons.

Mmmmmmmmm...

Been awhile since I've made this. Might be about thyme!

Great recipe, it even has this note:

"If your recipe calls for condensed cream of onion soup, decrease the
total amount of liquid in the soup by about half."

Thanks, George, I appreciate it...

You could substitute Knorr Cream of Onion soup or any of their other
cream soups...they're pretty good.....Sharon

That's a good idea; unfortunately, I couldn't find Cream of Onion
under any brand in my search yesterday. I'm going to keep looking
though, thanks for the suggestion...
