Recipe, sort of: Not Very French Onion Soup 15 November 2007 12:06 pm

Today on TracyFood, a little glimpse into the food geek brain at work, scanned directly from my notes on a soup I made at Morning Glory yesterday:

Too Vegan To Be French Onion Soup

As always, click on the picture to go to Flickr, where there are larger, more legible versions available. At some point I will attempt to translate these notes (more elaborate than my usual list of ingredients) into a more exact recipe, maybe even with pictures of the results, but this is all I’ve got for now. I tried and tried but no matter what I did (including repeatedly crash the Gimp image manipulation program), my scans always turned out blurry around the edges. Oh well. At least my handwriting scanned legibly (if a little weird because the notebook is awesome handmade Nepali paper, which is very delicate and so I write on it a bit more cautiously than usual, but I digress).

Page two of my notes:

I really wanted to use butter (or maybe a mix of olive oil and butter) instead of Earth Balance margarine, but Morning Glory soups are always vegan unless otherwise specified, and so I made a few little notes for a vegetarian but not vegan version. The cussing might seem a little gratuituous, but it’s a reference to an Everything2 piece that’s near and dear to my heart, so there. If this post isn’t verbose enough for you, check that last link out; it’s well worth the read. (Oh, and I hope to post something else later today, to make up for not posting anything yesterday; it’ll probably be dated November 14 just for added bonus confusion.)
