polish onion soup

Every time I have beef broth and Swiss cheese in the house, I think about making French Onion Soup, but I hardly ever do.

Tonight, though, I concocted a variation on that theme.

I've named it "Polish Onion Soup".

That's because the star of the dish is Mrs. T's Classic Onion Pierogies.

I happened to have all the ingredients at hand and the recipe created itself!

Perhaps knowing I will have my first luncheon of the new year tomorrow with Dawn helped.

Ordinarily, she would be hosting her January Soup Party, but not this year.

She's donating one of her kidneys to her cousin and had expected to be out of town.

However, the renal transfer has been delayed... so we two get to dine together!

Anyway, the topic at hand is "soup" and here are the directions.

Every three-pierogi serving is accompanied by 1/2 cup of beef broth.

I opted to cook the entire box of pierogi at one time, placing them into 2 c of the boiling broth, with a teaspoon of minced garlic for flavor.

I chose the Swanson Unsalted, Fat-free, Beef Broth, which is quite tasty by itself.

So, bring the broth to a boil, carefully drop in the pierogi, return to a boil, then let the pierogi cook for about 3 minutes.

Place three pierogi into a bowl, add 1/2 c of the broth, then top with a slice of Swiss cheese.

Quite tasty!!!
