  • Nothing Special...

    Every other month, there are six couples in my neighborhood that get together and have a themed dinner and take turns having it at different homes, this past weekend was French. So I decided to do French Onion Soup to take next door(which is one of the couples).

    The soup turned out great but my pictures suck..... someone broke into my truck the other day and stole my laptop, Nikon D40 and prescription glasses (WTF)................. so hope you enjoy!



    French Onion Soup
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • 4 cups thinly vertically sliced sweet onion
    • 4 cups thinly vertically sliced red onion
    • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 cup dry white wine
    • 8 cups beef broth
    • 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
    • 8 (1-ounce) slices French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 8 (1-ounce) slices, Swiss cheese (such as Alpine Lace)


    Preparation
    Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions to pan; sauté for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in sugar, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium; cook 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Increase heat to medium-high, and sauté for 5 minutes or until onion is golden brown. Stir in wine, and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and thyme; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours.
    Preheat broiler.
    Place bread in a single layer on a baking sheet; broil 2 minutes or until toasted, turning after 1 minute.
    Place 8 ovenproof bowls on a jelly-roll pan. Ladle 1 cup soup into each bowl. Divide bread evenly among bowls; top each serving with 1 cheese slice. Broil 3 minutes or until cheese begins to brown.

      Made me hungry already this morning! I love onion soup but my wife won't touch it. I don't make it very often but with your recipe, that may change.
