Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Right now, we happen to be in one of those very few months in Houston when one can truly enjoy a nice bowl of hot soup.
This recipe is adapted from a favorite made by my friend Cindy Smith. It is perfect for a cold, rainy day when you're craving something warm and savory, with little output required. The stars of the recipe are Texas 1015 Sweet Yellow Onions. There are just a few other ingredients, so be sure to use the best quality you can find.
The recipe, after the jump.
1015 Onion Soup
- 5 large 1015s, or sweet yellow onions, sliced
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 3 - 14.25 ounce cans beef broth, organic if possible, with salt
- 1 ½ cups dry white wine
Melt the butter in a large, hot soup pot.
Add onions and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
Add in the beef broth and wine.
Simmer 5-10 minutes, or until hot and steaming.
For extra decadence, add in freshly toasted French bread croutons and Gruyere.

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
