A dehydrated onion soup hard to beat is the “Pierre Picard” brand. The small tin holding just under two ounces makes five cups of the French style onion soup by the mere addition of water. The onions used are the finest grade of sweet California, sliced thin, then dehydrated down to big creamy flakes, these made crunchy by toasting. Packed with the onions is a powder composed of a beef extract, a protein derivative, made of part corn and part wheat, natural herbs, salt, and spices. The cook adds the contents of the can to five measuring cups of water an brings this to a boil. The heat is reduced, the pan covered and the soup simmered gently 10 to 20 minutes. Serve it piping hot and garnish with toast strips which have been sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese, dotted with butter, and run under the broiler. Pour the soup and float on its surface the cheese-topped toast.
If you want to make less than five servings use a proportionate amount, storing the leftover contents of the can in a sealed jar.
