Comments

Soup is great made ahead. You may need a little more chicken stock to adjust consistency after cooling. Other onions may be used or other vegetables added, but we like to show off these great onions in their prime every spring. This recipe yields approximately one gallon. Remove bay leaves before serving. Makes 32 4-oz servings.
