Now what we need is a good song about onions to go with this thread.
Out here in Matilda Land, we had for a few years a complete dearth of French Onion Soup, Powdered and otherwise. Wondered if the only factory in Lower Slobodovia had burnt down... but now it's back.
Powdered FOS, mixed with soft cream cheese, makes a great party dip - you can add other ingredients, including dried fruit (keep in fridge for a few hours) and even various types of alcohol!
