I have never ordered French Onion soup at a restaurant, it just sounded like it would be weird. But Rob really likes it so I made it one day. It was a huge hit! We both loved it. So, here you go!
6 c thinly sliced onions (I know this is alot, but they are cooked and get so soft that you don't have to chew them or anything, they're so yummy!)
1 TBSP sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
1/3 c vegetable oil
6 c beef broth
8 slices French bread (3/4 in thick), toasted
1/2 c shredded Parmesan or Swiss cheese
In a big sauce pan cook the onions, sugar and pepper in oil over med-low heat for 20 minutes or until the onions are carmelized, stirring frequently.
Add the broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Ladle the soup in ovenproof bowls. Top each with a slice of French bread; sprinkle with cheese. Broil 4-6 inches from heat until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
*I don't have ovenproof bowls for soup, so I just took the slices of bread, put them on a cookie sheet and put cheese on them. Then broiled them for 2-3 minutes and then put that on the soup when they were done, it was delicious!!
Chalece, this sounds really good, I'm excited to try it!!
ReplyDeleteYum...so we couldn't wait to try this so I made it for dinner tonight. I loved that it was so easy to make and it tasted delicious! I wouldn't say it is a kid-friendly meal but I would definitely use this recipe to entertain and Jeremy and I loved it! Thanks for sharing it! This is the only way I will ever eat soggy bread :)
