description: >
Stirring a packet of onion soup mix into sour cream has long been the go-to method for this popular party dip; we were
determined to do better. By dicing onions instead of slicing them (more surface area) and starting them over medium
heat, we create deep color and caramelized flavor in only 30 minutes. A base of sour cream and mayonnaise provides
balanced flavor and creaminess, and a pinch of cayenne adds heat, while balsamic vinegar lends sweetness and mellow
tang.
steps:
- ingredients:
- { amount: 3, unit: tbsp, item: "butter, unsalted" }
- { amount: 2, unit: lbs, item: "onions, yellow (diced)" }
- { amount: 0.5, unit: tsp, item: "salt" }
- { amount: 0.5, unit: tsp, item: "black pepper" }
- { amount: 0.125, unit: tsp, item: "cayenne pepper" }
directions: >
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until the onions are translucent (about 10 minutes). Reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to
cook until the onions are golden (about 10 minutes).
- ingredients:
- { amount: 0.25, unit: cup, item: "water" }
directions: >
Add 2 tbsp of water to the skillet, and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the water has evaporated (about
5 minutes). Add the remaining water and cook until the onions are caramelized and the water has again evaporated
(about 5 more minutes).
- ingredients:
- { amount: 2.5, unit: tsp, item: "balsamic vinegar" }
- { amount: 1, unit: cup, item: "sour cream" }
- { amount: 0.5, unit: cup, item: "mayonnaise" }
directions: >
Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, and allow to cool (about 10 minutes).
- ingredients:
- { amount: 1, unit: cup, item: "sour cream" }
- { amount: 0.5, unit: cup, item: "mayonnaise" }
directions: >
Add the sour cream and mayonnaise, and stir to combine completely. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

title: Tomato Soup
timings:
prep: 30 minutes
icons: [gluten-free, low-carb]
servings: 1
description: >
This tomato soup is thick, slighly creamy, and very hearty. Unlike store-bought tomato soup, it's also not
overburdened with sugar to make it taste good. Instead, I use canned San Marzano tomatoes (often kept in a separate
section in the supermarket) as they add a whole different dimension to any tomato dish than even fresh tomatoes grown
in the US.
steps:
- ingredients:
- { amount: 2, item: "28oz cans diced tomatoes" }
- { amount: 0.75, unit: cup, item: "chicken broth" }
directions: >
Drain the tomatoes into a colander over a large pot, pressing lightly to release the liquid. Add the chicken broth
to the tomato juice and set aside.
- ingredients:
- { amount: 3, unit: tbsp, item: "butter, unsalted" }
- { amount: 1, item: "onion, yellow (chopped)" }
- { amount: 1, item: "bay leaf" }
- { amount: 1, unit: tsp, item: "sugar, brown" }
directions: >
Melt the butter in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Add ⅔ of the
tomatoes, bay leaf, and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to brown (about 5
minutes).
- ingredients:
- { amount: 2, unit: tbsp, item: "tomato paste" }
- { amount: 2, unit: tbsp, item: "flour, gluten-free mix" }
- { amount: 0.5, unit: tsp, item: "baking soda" }
- { amount: 1, unit: tsp, item: "salt" }
directions: >
Add the tomato paste and flour to the pot. Continue cooking, stirring frequently now, until the paste begins to
darken. Slowly stir in the reserved tomato juice mixture, the remaining tomatoes, baking soda, and salt. Bring to
a boil, and then reduce to medium-low heat to simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Then, remove from
the heat.
- ingredients:
- { amount: 0.5, unit: cup, item: "heavy cream" }
- { amount: 1, unit: tsp, item: "black pepper" }
directions: >
Discard the bay leaf. Purée the soup in batches in a large blender. Return the puréed soup to the pot and bring
back to a low simmer. Add the heavy cream and pepper.
