This is an easy recipe to make. There is no added spices so its soothing to the mouth and throat. If having swallowing problems, can omit the bread and cheese.
1 small can beef broth
4 cups water
1 tablespoon beef boulion or beef soup base
1 x-large sweet vildallia onion
1 piece of bread toasted
a few slices provolone cheese
slice/chop the vildalia onion into small pieces and sautee (in margerine or butter or little oil) until starts turning brown
combine with broth, boullion, water and simmer slowly
turn on your oven broiler on HI to heat up a few minutes
ladle soup into heavy soup bowl or crock and place piece of toast on top. fan out provolone cheese over top of toast. place into broiler and watch closely. as soon as the cheese starts to turn brown remove from broiler
its just like what you get in restaurants without added spices to burn your mouth
all measurements are very approximate

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | It is very delicious , but Dianne, leave the cheese out. We have the same problems and I damn near choked to death before I got the cheese unstuck in my throat and out of my mouth. That is great to put over mashed potatoes too or even some pasta.
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
