Share recipe
Description
A proven, favorite recipe for the best French Onion soup ever. White Zinfindel goes great with this soup, too. You can double the recipe pretty easy, and I even tripled it once. Make sure to keep the sugar down, if you do.
Ingredients
- 5 onions, thinly sliced
- 6 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 pound shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ½ cup white wine
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, sliced
Directions
- 1. In a medium stock pot, heat beef broth over medium-high heat.
- 2. In a saute pan, add butter and oil and cook over medium-high heat. Once heated, add onions and stir, until onions are tender and transparent. Stir in sugar.
- 3. Add onions to heated broth, stir and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- 4. Add wine and season with salt and pepper, simmer for 10 minutes.
- 5. Pour soup mixture into individual serving bowls and place a slice of bread on top, making sure bread gets well soaked. Place shredded cheese on top of bread and broil, 3 inches below heat, until cheese bubbles.
