Now that it’s soup season, I long for Soup’s On — as I do every fall and winter.

Onion soupI spent so much time at that restaurant on Main Street enjoying the onion soup, salad with green goddess dressing and warm rolls — ahhhh yummm!

I hope to prepare this for my family — mostly my daughters who listen to my stories as we walk downtown, and I assure them it was not always like it is now.  There used to be wonderful places to eat and hang out with friends.

I have found no one who can duplicate the taste of this wonderful recipe.  Can you help?  Are there any long-lost contacts to Soup’s On?

    That is the link from my catering website to the curriculum I wrote for Culinary Arts II for my class at Staples HS.

    Link to the unit on France, there is a very good fool-proof recipe for French Onion Soup as well as some others that are very good.

    If you have any questions, feel free to email! Bon Appetit!

    Dan:

    If anyone re-discovers the beloved Onion Soup recipe mentioned on 06880, we would be happy to feature it at Bobby Q’s. We are thinking about bringing the old Onion Alley French Onion Soup Recipe back shortly as well.

    Thanks,

    My aunt Deidre Kantor opened Soup’s On with Sue Fine. I have sent Dan’s post to her. She is still in Westport and yes, the onion soup was the best!

    Soup’s On was one of my favorite restaurants. It was simple, good and seemed healthy. I always wondered why it closed, since it seemed like a good business model.
