caramelized onion and water chestnut soup
I LOVE onions. It's a weird food fetish but my husband is okay with it. I put them on everything! This is similar to a french onion soup with some twists. I know it may seem labor intensive but It is definitely worth trying at least once if you happen to share the same love for onions as I do.
