Onion Soup

Serves 2 to 4 as an appetizer.

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup sliced and diced red or white onions
1 clove garlic, crushed
Drippings from 1 slice pork or turkey bacon, if desired
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can beef broth

Saute onion and garlic in butter or margarine with the bacon drippings, if desired, for about 5 minutes or until golden. Do not let the onions or garlic get too brown. Add beef broth. Heat through, for about 20 minutes, or up to 1/2 hour if covered.

Option: Top with a 1/2-inch piece of Italian or French bread and some shredded mozzarella or other cheese. Place under the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve.
