Years ago, LONG before they came up wth the "toxic onion" thing, I too fed my dogs bites of onion rings whenever we had fast food, and they USED to tell you to add garlic to their food to repel ticks and fleas! I used to use raw ground meat to encase pills anyone needed to take....I routinely used a little garlic powder in the ground meat to hide the smell of the pill, because they CAN smell that medication inside that ground meat! Never had an issue of any toxic reaction to onion rings or garlic powder....and I have annual blood work done...if red cells were rupturing, my vet would have seen that.....besides when red blood cells rupture, you get hemolysis, which is evident by blood in the urine. I admit I do not now feed my dogs onion rings any more, but I really am not absolutely sure this is a real clear and present danger. You certainly do not have anything to worry about, with your baby getting a little soup...PROBABLY could have had the entire bowl and nothing would come of it!
