- FRENCH ONION SOUP
- Preparation Time: 20 minutes
- Cooking Time: 1 hour
-
- 1 pound onions
- 4-6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cups chicken or beef stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices French bread, 1/2 inch thick
- 1 cup grated Gruyere Cheese
-
- Peel & thinly slice the onions. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a
- large saucepan; add the onions & stir well. Cover with a lid & cook over
- low hear for about 15 minutes, or until the onions are soft &
- transparent. Remove the lid & continue cooking the onions, stirring
- occasionally, until they are golden brown. Stir in the chicken or beef
- stock. Taste carefully for salt; if the stock is salty, additional salt
- may not be necessary. Replace the lid & simmer the soup for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, spread the remaining butter on both sides of each slice of
- French bread. Sprinkle half the cheese over one side of the bread
- slices. Bake the bread on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350
- until the bread is crisp & the cheese has melted. Arrange the slices of
- bread in individual bowls & pour in the hot onion soup. Serve the
- remaining grated cheese in a separate bowl.
