Apple and Onion Soup with Stuffed Prunes (1923)

Apple and Onion Soup
4 tbs butter
4 tbs flour
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 quart broth
½ pint onions
1 cup apple sauce
A little paprika
Soften in a large saucepan 4 tbs of butter, blend with it 4 tbs of flour mixed with 1 tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Add a quart of broth and stir until the whole boils; then add a half pint of onions previously steamed and chopped, together with the water or juice of the onions collected while steaming. Add 1 cupful of apple sauce. Use a little paprika for seasoning and garnish with fried apple balls. Serve very hot.

Did we eat it? Yes

Would I make it again? Don't think so.

Notes: I am not a fan of thickening soups with butter and flour. I left this part out and used a little less broth and used only a little butter.
