Spicy Tomato Soup (with Bacon and Sausage)

Step 7 Clog those Arteries Part 3: Onions

Here comes the fun part. Cook your onions in the bacon and sausage drippings until they are golden brown and tender. Salt and pepper (pepper will make the soup spicier, though, so beware) to taste while they are cooking. This takes about twenty five minutes, give or take a few. Try hard to resist the temptation to eat them directly out of the pan, no matter how wonderful they smell. This can cause burns or, even worse, cause your soup to be lacking in yummy onion goodness! Once finished, again remove to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb grease.
