Cooking onions until they are golden brown and caramelized lend incredible flavor to this classic broth-based soup. It's quick and easy to prepare, and a necessary member of a cook's repertoire for fall and winter meal-making. This version has the added benefit of being lighter than its restaurant counterparts, which are typically overflowing with toasted cheese. Although there's French bread already in this soup, serve some extra alongside to get every last drop.

The price is probably the biggest difference I have seen with the two types of ladders. For the infomercial, you have to do some calculations to figure out how much you have to pay, first the installment payments and then the shipping and handling. It comes out to $360 and then in the infomercial, they'll wave the shipping. Well isn't that nice, when you pay that much for a ladder I guess they can just handle the shipping charges.

I don't like the way some of these infomercials handle their products and make it sound like they are helping you out, and then won't tell you how much the total cost is, just that they have four easy payments and some people don't worry about the fact that it does cost as much as $360. They see the four payments and think it's going to be paid out over a longer period of time. But that longer period of time is only four months, save the money up and buy the thing in one payment if you just have to have the Little Giant.
