Oyle soppes - (onion & ale soup) from Harleian MS 4016: Oyle soppes.
Take a good quantite of onyons, and myce hem, noyt to smale, & seth hem
in faire water, And take hem vppe; and then take a good quantite of
stale ale, as .iij. galons, And there-to take a pynte of goode oyle that
is fraied, and cast the onyons there-to, And lete al boyle togidre a
grete wile; and caste there-to Saffron and salt, And then put brede, in
maner of brewes, and cast the licour there-on, and serue hit forth hote.

My translation: Oil Sops. Take a good quantity of onions, and mince
them, not to small, & boil them in fair water, And take them up; and
then take a good quantity of stale ale, 3 gallons, And take a pint of
good oil that is fried, and cast the onions in it, And let all boil
together a great while; and cast into it Saffron & salt, And then put
bread, in the manner of brews, and cast the liquid on, and serve it
forth hot.
