French Onion Soup

Riding on the coattails of the recipe, posted yesterday, for zucchini bread provided by friend of Good Eats, Andy, we bring you another borrowed but tasty dish.  All the way from Colorado, Seth, author of All That Is, has shared with us a good French Onion Soup recipe that his family uses.  After testing it, we have deemed it not only delicious but also blogworthy.

Ingredients

• 2 large yellow onions, sliced into rings
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp worchestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp dry sherry or dry white wine (optional)
• Several grinds from pepper mill
• 4 slices french bread, day old or toasted
• Shredded swiss cheese - I had sliced swiss for sandwiches so I went ahead and used that

Directions

• Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat
• Add the onion rings and sauté them in the butter until tender and golden.  Cover the pan if possible 

• Add the beef broth, worchestershire sauce, pepper and sherry (optional)
• Bring to boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally
• In 4 bowls, place 1 slice of french bread
• Pour soup over bread and sprinkle with cheese and serve

Thanks again, Seth!

Look forward to more soup recipes as the temperatures continue to drop and we get more and more into the Fall!
