Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tb Oil
2 ea Yellow onion, sliced
1 tb Grated lemon zest
1/2 ts Ginger, grated
1 c Lemon juice
1/2 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Fresh ground pepper
4 c Water
4 lg Red potatoes, boil & chop
2 tb Italian parsley, chopped

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. When
it begins to foam, add the onions, lemon zest, and
ginger and saute until the onions are translucent,
about 10 min. Add the lemon juice with sugar, salt and
pepper; continue to saute for 2-3 min longer. Add the
water, raise the heat to high, and bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the
broth is golden and the onions have almost completely
disintegrated, about 30 min.

Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve into a
clean container; discard the contents of the sieve.
Working in batches if necessary, combine the strained
stock and the potatoes in a blender or food processor
and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a clean
saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.

Ladle into warmed soup bowls and garnish each serving
with a little of the parsley.
