French Onion Soup

French Onion soup is usually a restaurant favorite; not something you would make at your home. I had to reconsider the cheese/bread topping; the part that makes this soup so delicious. The cheese will brown regardless of the bread, so simply use a large slice of cheese on top and forgo the bread altogether.

French Onion Soup

2 cups beef broth

1 large onion, sliced thin

1-2 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper

½ cup sherry or white wine

large slice of Jarlsberg or mozzarella cheese

In a medium pot, heat oil to med-high, then add onion. Saute until translucent, approx 8-10 minutes, season with salt and pepper. After the onions are finished, add beef broth and wine, then simmer 20-25 minutes.

Turn on broiler to high. Once soup is finished, spoon into an oven-safe cooking vessel, then place sliced cheese on top. Place bowls on a cookie sheet and broil in oven for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
