Soup Making Tips -
Green Onions
Green onions or scallions have a mild flavor that is suitable for green salad, potato salad and pasta salad. They are often sprinkled as a tasty garnish on top of casseroles, soups and stews, or used in stir-fries or other dishes with short cooking times. Green onions or scallions make a wonderful addition to mashed potatoes or they can be used in place of chives to top a baked potato with sour cream.

Soup Making Tips -
Selecting Green Onions
When selecting green onions or scallions, look for firm white bulbs or ends. The tops should be a deep, rich green color. The onions within the bunch should be similar in size. The onions should be unblemished and clean with no signs of insect damage or decay.
