Or at least it is famous around our house. This is a very old recipe that I got from Jane Brody. Not only is it yummy but it is also very weight watcher friendly. My husband is not a "soup person." Yet, he likes this one. The ingredients sound a bit odd, but trust me and try it. You'll like it or your money back.

2T olive oil
1-2 cups chopped onions
2 or more large garlic cloves crushed
