Title: French Onion Soup
Categories: Soups
Yield: 1 Servings

3 Onions thinly sliced
2 tb Butter
6 c Beef broth; I prefer home
-made.
1 c Grated Gruyere cheese
2 tb Dry red wine
Salt and freshly ground
-pepper to taste
4 sl Bread

Cook onions in butter until they begin to change color, let some of them
actually brown. Add broth and wine and bring to a boil. Simmer 10 to 15
minutes Check seasoning Slightly toast bread slices. Place some of the
onion soup in each of 4 oven proof individual bowls Place 1 toast in ea
bowl Pour rest of soup to fill up to 4/5 of bowl. Toast will rise to the
surface. Sprinkle plenty of cheese on top of toast. Bake in 350 oven for 15
minutes. Turn to broil 10 minutes or until a crust forms. Note: I some
times add pieces of Gouda in the bottom of the bowls.( but then it"s not
authentic, yet it makes it just even more delicious) Bon Appetit Miriam
