Caramelized Onion Loaded Potato Soup

This is a hearty and filling soup. Caramelized Onion Loaded Potato Soup has a luscious texture and is easy to prepare. Turning the natural sugars in the onions to caramel give this soup its unique flavour. I start by sautéing the onions in some butter and oil. A little bit of brown sugar helps the process and a little water continues the caramelization.

To load the soup add your favourite toppings as you would to a baked potato. Today I used bacon and cheese. A loaf of bread finished this meal in style. Potatoes are very versatile this way and can come to the table as appetizers, main or sides. The potato came from the New World and brought over by Spanish explorers. It changed the world; it is the fifth most important crop in the world today. The potato helped feed growing populations and ease famine. A staple on many table, it is loved worldwide.
