By Maria from Sun City, CA Feedback: RE: Vegetable Soup What's the purpose of frying the onion prior to adding it to the rest of the ingredients? Sounds delicious! (01/08/2007) By RE: Vegetable Soup Hi.... The reason why you fry the onion, is so you can bring out the "sweetness" of the onion. Make sure you don't overcook. Fry just until the onions are clear and tender. Hope you try, it's a family favorite of ours.(01/10/2007) By mvb Report Spam or Abuse
