cook's notes
This is a great soup. I tend to omit the celery b/c I don't think it goes well with the other ingredients (plus I'm not a celery fan). Also, when I want to put this together quickly I use the pre-crushed garlic in the bottle. Tastes great!

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
