    Onion Soup

    5 cups onions, sliced in rings 5 tbsp oil 7 1/2 cups water 2 1/2 tsp tarragon 2 tsp salt
    1/8 tsp pepper 3-4 tbsp soy sauce 3 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes

    Slowly fry onions in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until they're well browned. Meanwhile put
    water on to boil in a big soup pot. When the onions are cooked, add to the soup pot, then add
    tarragon, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then turn heat down to a simmer for 10 minutes. Add
    soy sauce and nutritional yeast flakes right at the end. You can make a lot of this soup and
    refrigerate it. Sitting overnight enhances the flavour.

    I want onion soup, but I can't buy nutritional yeast anywhere. Can't I replace it something?

    Not really, but you can use a bit of your Marmite in the broth.

    Here's a more basic Onion Soup recipe that I used to make years ago.

    French Onion Soup:

    Ingredients: 4 cups of thinly sliced onions 1 Tbl flour 16 oz vegetable stock 3 Tbl non-hydrogenated
    margarine or vegetable oil 1 tsp or so of unrefined sugar salt and pepper to taste

    Method: The whole trick here is to cook the onions slowly. The longer it takes to cook, the better
    it's gonna be.

    First, melt the margarine or oil into a large saucepan and heat it over a medium low burner. While
    that's heating up, hack up about 4 or 5 onions, finely, to create 4 cups of very thinly sliced
    onions. Dump the onions into the simmering pan. Sauté them over lowish heat, extremely slowly, for
    about 30 minutes (yes, this is slow, but time is the key to making truly good soup). When the onions
    are deeply brown add a good pinch of sugar and a palm full of flour and continue to sauté for
    another couple of minutes. Add the veg stock and simmer for another 30 minutes. Serve with big hunks
    toasted garlic bread.

    I've seen 'Marigold Engevita Nutritional Yeast Flakes' sold all over europe. I bet if you asked your
    local healthfood shop to order some they could get it for you. It looks like this

    Is that another way of saying "Slice 4-5 onions very thinly"?

    I'll try to keep an eye out for it, but not knowing what it's called in Swedish makes it practically
    impossible to ask for it.

    Not really. Some onions are big some are small. The american measuring term 'cup' is loosely based
    around the average tea cup. Fill up 4 or 5 teacups with very finely sliced onions....

    How about printing out the above .jpg and bringing it into the shop and showing it to them?
