• 2 add water to cover. bring water to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 30 minutes until the onion is very tender.
• 3 take one packet of country gravy mix (the kind of gravy) and put it into a smallish mixing bowl. add 1/3 - 1/2 cup water and stir until the lumps are gone and you have a very thick gravy.
• 4 stir the gravy into the soup and mix well. if the soup is still too runny, repeat with one more packet of country gravy mix.
• 5 add garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper as needed, a little at a time.
• 6 if the soup is too thick, add a little cream, half-and-half or milk.
