Foolproof Impress Your In-Laws Onion Soup

"This is a recipe that I've had for years and once again have no idea where it came from. My family likes it better than any we've ever had in a restaurant. This is also great the second (or third) day. The amount of onions you use will depend on how strong you want the onion taste to be. In my opinion, you can have too much onion, so I usually tend to stay closer to the 3 cups rather than 5."

  1. This is a great soup, although I felt it was missing something. I added some oregano and brown sugar and that helped it out (a bit unconservative, but I was feeling adventurous). It was very good, but I think I'll stick to my usual recipe.
     
  2. Wonderful soup. I used a scant 4 cups of onions and the white wine. It has a rich flavor without being over strong in anything. and the cheese looks wonderful with a nice touch of brown on it. It's company worthy and everyday easy to make and creates the most wonderful aroma. I had people following their noses into the kitchen wanting a sample. It's a keeper.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing. I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us. I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
