Onion soup!

Making:

Onion soup

5? servings prepared 

Here's what I have:

The soup:

1 stick Butter
Salt/Pepper - to taste 
1 oz White wine vinegar 
4 cloves Garlic 
5 large Onions sliced thin
12 oz beef broth
1 tbsp Thyme 

Preparation:

In a large pot I caramelized the onions in two parts with half of the butter each round. After this was done all of the onions along with the rest of the liquid ingredients were added to the pot and set to simmer for 30 mins. Salt and pepper were added to taste once the soup is done simmering.

Finishers for today's dinner:

1/4 cup Scallions 
1 cup Broccoli 
Salt/Pepper 
1 tsp Paprika/Garlic/Onion powder mix
5 oz Chicken breast
1/4 cup Mozzarella 

Preparation:

I cut the chicken into small pieces and cooked them in the cast iron with the spices and a small chunk of butter. The broccoli was steamed for 8 mins.

Once these were done I added some chicken to the bottom of the bowl followed by some soup and scallions. The rest of the chicken went on top with cheese.  The bowl was placed under the broiler until the cheese was browned and then the bowl was topped with scallions. The broccoli was placed on the plate holding the soup bowl.

The plate/bowl!

This was a filling meal. With plenty of soup leftover I'll be able to experiment making a few alternate meals from one pot of soup.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside.   The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
