Another YOC SOUP RECIPE, I believe from the 1989 version of the 345 TAS cookbook.

Ingredients

2-3 onions, sliced lengthwise (I assume sweet onions but any of you good cooks have any recommendations as to type of onions?)

1/2 lb butter

1 cup flour

2-3 qts chicken stock

2-3 chicken bouillon cubes

1/2 can condensed milk. I have been told you should use whole milk here.

Salt to taste

French bread

Swiss cheese

Directions

Melt butter in large sauce pan

Saute onions

Add flour and saute again

Brown lightly, but do not scorch flour

Add chicken stock a little at a time, stirring constantly

Add bouillon cubes, salt and pepper

Add canned milk and heat through

Put soup in bowls and top each serving with a slice of French bread and swiss cheese

Put under broiler or in oven just to melt the cheese

In August, 1989, the 345th TAS published their cookbook, named COMBAT COOKING. I have a copy and will try to get a downloadable PDF of it when I learn how. Also, I think there is an earlier version too if anyone can help me out.

Also, believe there is an earlier version, 1977. If someone could make a copy of it, I will put it on here too.
