"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
** For fancy la-te -da Restaurant service recommendations: Cut off tops of onions and save. With melon-baller, hollow out insides of onions, taking care to leave 1/4" around the sides and bottom. Place 1/2 cup or more of rock salt in bottom of individual oven proof bowls. Nestle the hallowed onions into the rock salt, packing salt around the edges to make sure the onions don't tip over. Preheat oven to 400.

Remove bouquet garnish- floating spices- from soup. Ladle hot onion soup into onions. Place a large crouton onto each onion of soup. Top with Swiss cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan on top of Swiss. Bake in oven 10 - 15 minutes until cheese is melted and soup is boiling.
