Stuffed Spinach Onions w/Soup

First sauté a clove of garlic in olive oil, add some chopped onion, ground beef and cook till done.

After draining the beef, add one can of chopped diced tomatoes in tomato sauce, good beef stock, a handful of okra, basil, pepper and a little salt.

While the soup is cooking, cut your onions and scoop out the inside.(I put mine in the microwave to cook a little prior to stuffing)

Wash and drain your spinach and wring out excess water. Cut up a clove of garlic and cook in olive oil. Add spinach and cook till hot, and then add beef stock, one scrambled egg and freshly ground parmesan cheese. When the egg is cooked and the cheese melted, add bread crumbs.

Stuff the onions and sprinkle some more parmesan cheese on top.
Place onions in a dish with a little beef stock in the bottom and put in a fairly hot oven and cover. Bake till onions are soft, then uncover and let cheese brown.

Place the onion in a bowl of hot soup and serve.
