[Sca-cooks] Re: [Sca-cooks) onion soup...

[Stephen Bloch]

There's an onion soup recipe entitled "Soupes Dorres" in _Two 
Fifteenth Century_.  The original says

"Nym onyons, mince hem, frie hem in oille de olyve; nym onyons, 
boille hem with wyn, tost whit bred, and do it in dishes and cast 
almand mylke thereon and the wyn and the onyons aboue, and gif it 
forth."

My wife's redaction (not scaled up for your size of feast, but it 
should be easy enough) calls for
3 medium white onions, sliced into rings
2 T olive oil                                     1 C almonds, ground 
in blender or food processor
3 1/2 C white wine                          3 C water to make almond milk
1 mini-loaf white French bread
