ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 4 vidalia onions
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 leeks, white and light green sections only thinly sliced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 (284 ml) cans condensed beef broth
- 2 (284 ml) cans water
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 2 buns, sliced, I use multi-grain
- 2 1⁄2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
directions
- In a large saucepan, melt butter.
- Chop one onion until fine. I generally use my mini-chopper. Cut the remaining onions in half, then slice.
- Add garlic, leeks and all the onions and the salt to the melted butter. Saute until soft. This should take approximately 15 minutes.
- Cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add beef broth, water, pepper and tabasco sauce. Bring just to the boil.
- Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- At this point, you may continue with the recipe, or cool and store in the fridge. Great for single servings!
- To serve:.
- Preheat oven or toaster oven (good for single servings) to the broil setting.
- Ladle soup into an oven proof bowl. Top with a slice of the toasted bun.
- Spoon on a few of the onions and top with a 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
- Broil until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown.
- Enjoy!

It's a good soup, I used extra onions and some green onions instead of the leeks. I followed the receipe and used a whole wheat bun though. The bun soaked up all the soup and was really mushy, kinda gross. Next time, I think I'll used a harder bread like french or sour dough so it doesnt soak up the entire soup.

This is just delicious. I skipped the leeks and added about 4 green onions. I didn't have the condensed beef broth so added 5 cups of beef broth and left out the water. I also added some beef granules to make the broth a little stronger. I also used garlic bread that I had made. I really liked the mozzarella cheese on this. Thanks so much for sharing.

We love onion soup & this was perfect for a cold day. I used 5 large onions (no leeks) and liked that the amount wasn't skimpy in proportion to the broth. I used sliced cheese (had on hand) and toasted whole wheat bread. It all turned into a gooey, melty, oniony delight. Did I say *"yum"?* Thank you for sharing your recipe!
