--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  15      pounds        Spanish onions -- peeled and
   4 1/2  gallons       Hot water.
     1/2  pound         Margarine.
   1      cup           Sherry
   1 1/2  teaspoons     White pepper.
   1      pound         Beef base
     1/4  cup           Paprika.

As a Bennigans manager, I serve this one alot.... this recipe makes 5 gallons and does
 divide easily into any size. in stock pot melt margarine and then saute onions for approx.
 15 minutes. Add all spices except the beef base. Saute 15 minutes.  while onions are 
cooking, bring water and beef base to a boil in another pot. After the 30 minute cooking time, 
add the onions to the water. Let simmer for 45 minutes. I am sorry that I didn't break it
 into smaller portions, if it helps, the soup will only hold for 5 days.
