Onion Soup
Serves 2 to 4 as an appetizer.

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2 cup sliced and diced red or white onions

1 clove garlic, crushed

Drippings from 1 slice pork or turkey bacon, if desired

1 (10 3/4 ounce) can beef broth

Sauté onion and garlic in butter or margarine with the bacon drippings, if desired, for about 5 minutes or until golden. Do not let the onions or garlic get too brown.

Add beef broth. Heat through, for about 20 minutes, or up to 1/2 hour if covered.
