Vegetarian Onion Soup Recipe

Vegetarian ingredients: One quart of milk, six large onions, yolks of four eggs, three tablespoonfuls of butter, a large one of flour, one cup full of cream, salt, pepper. Put the butter in a frying pan. Cut the onions into thin slices and drop in the butter. Stir until they begin to cook; then cover tight and set back where they will simmer, but not burn, for ½ an hour. Now put the milk on to boil, and then add the dry flour to the onions and stir constantly for three minutes over the stove; then turn the mixture into the milk and cook fifteen minutes. Rub the soup through a strainer, return to the stove, season with salt and pepper.

Beat the yolks of the eggs well, add the cream to them and stir into the soup. Cook three minutes, stirring constantly. If you have no cream, use milk, in which case add a tablespoonful of butter at the same time. Pour over fried croutons in a soup tureen.

This is a quick, refreshing soup dish when one is fatigued.
