INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION: Peel and coarsley chop the onions. Rinse leeks, remove
green tops, and reserve white parts for another use. COOKING: Heat
oil in a 6-quart soup kettle. Add onions and saute over medium-high

for 25 minutes. Strain broth through a fine sieve and return it to the
soup kettle; set aside. (Can cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2
days or freeze for up to 1 month.) Makes 2 quarts [COOKS; Jan/Feb
