When Life Gives You Onions…
make onion soup with Renzie Baluyut.
They say the hallmark of any good cook is how he makes soup.
Personally, I’m big on soups. I love it. But you can do so much more than just popping a can open, or pouring hot water into a prepacked styro cup, or emptying a pouch onto a pot.
Don’t get me wrong- instant or ready-to-eat soups is alright sometimes, but when it’s time to break out some cooking skills, then you have to know how to make some soup.
Heck, you don’t even have to be a Top Chef to pull something off like a good soup. I say we can always use this opportunity to hone our kitchen-craft, and fill a few eager bellies with nourishment and love.
Or in this case, some onion soup.
Here’s a fairly simple, yet delicious and hearty soup you can make, particularly so when you have a whole lotta onions lying around the house.
French Onion Soup.
The classic French Onion Soup is primarily made of caramelized onions in beef stock, with croutons, and melted cheese on top.
Living Solo: 10 Essential Food Items For the Bachelor Lifestyle
Living Solo Tips with Renzie Baluyut.
Cooking is great, and so is eating out and taking out. But when you live on your own, sometimes you just don’t feel like going through all the trouble to just feed yourself. Particularly so coming home after a busy day, or just staying in on a lazy weekend.
Cooking entails so much prep work, and so much to wash for just an audience of one: yourself. Eating out means having to get dressed, finding a place to eat, and usually spending more than you should. And take out makes sense pretty much when you’re ordering a lot- but sometimes a large box of pizza is just too much, even for yourself.
Which is why, as someone living solo, you should always have some convenient food items handy in your apartment:
1. Bread.
2. An assortment of sandwich meat.
3. An assortment of spreads and condiments.
4. Cereal.
5. Fruit.
6. Tuna and sardines.
7. Veggies.
8. Instant noodles.
9. Cookies and crackers.
10. Rice.
