    This was an incredibly popular soup for decades.

    They must be peeling onions differently than I do of they’re losing 2 lbs out of 5

    I’ll stick to french onion soup without a ton of flour & food colouring.

    I didn’t realize Famous Barr was a St Louis thing

    So normally when making gravy, you add about 1-2 Tbsp of flour per cup of liquid.

    This is saying add 3/4 cup (12 Tbsp) flour into a finished volume of 8 cups… so that’s 1.5 Tbsp flour per cup.

    So this should be as thick as gravy. Which is not what I would expect for french onion soup. Unless cooking the “gravy” for 2 hours kills the thickening power of the flour?

    Also, use Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master, don’t use caramel coloring. Or use nothing.
