The American classic onion soup dip created by Lipton has long been a Super Bowl recipe staple. I decided it was time for an upgrade! Caramelized onions are easy, cheap and delicious, so remaking this dip was a snap! Onions become a whole new veggie after they have been slowly caramelized – sweet and rich! YUM!
If you have never tried caramelizing onions, I suggest you drop whatever it is you are doing and RUN QUICKLY to your nearest grocery store and stock up on yellow onions. Try this recipe and you will be a caramelized onion convert!
Then, I made crackers. I promise you if you make these, someone will be impressed. “You made crackers? Wow!” is the amazed response I get most often. People are always impressed – but they don’t realize how ridiculously easy these are to make. And – so, so delicious – Wheat Thins have nothing on these crunchy delights!

I should state straightaway that I am NOT ordinarily a football fan at all – most years I don’t even know who’s in the Superbowl until after it happens, if ever. But this year, a friend of mine is absolutely ecstatic about the fact that the New Orleans Saints are playing, as he’s been a loyal fan his whole life (a Louisiana native) and this is apparently their first time making it all the way! I also happen to adore New Orleans and hope to go back there many more times in my life, for so many reasons, not the least of which is the cuisine.
So this is my tribute to Chuck and his beloved Saints. It’s somewhere between a chili and a gumbo, and I hope Cajun purists don’t balk at my machinations. Continue reading ‘Superbowl Specials Series: Cajun Chili Cups’
