Mimz's French Onion Soup

"This is one of the easiest soups to make. It is great for a first course for a special occasion as it can be made ahead and just finished in the oven before serving."

  • Combine both broths and sherry in a large pot and bring to a boil.

  • Add onions to broth and simmer covered for 1 hour stirring occasionally salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle soup into crocks and place a slice of bread and cheese on top. (To make it easier to eat the bread can be cut into bite size pieces before putting on soup.).

  1. This has all the right steps and works great with Gruyere, however I'd recommend skipping the sugar or using 1/4 the amount listed. It was a bit rude taking a sip of the broth and finding it like saturated sweet tea. Perhaps they meant 2 teaspoons of sugar..
     
  2. This is really good! I made 2 crocks worth and it was the perfect amount for our lunch. It was thicker than any french onion I have had before, but it was a nice change. Served with a slice of rustic sourdough and mozzarella cheese. Made for PAC Fall 2011.
     
  3. I was craving some really good French onion soup with gooey cheese, and this hit the spot. Aside from waiting 1 hour to simmer, it's very quick and easy to make. I used a mixture of provolone and swiss cheese for the cheese topping. Thanx for sharing. This was excellent.

It would be hard for me to choose between my two favorite hobbies, cooking and reading, so frequently I compromise and read a cookbook! My husband thinks we have an annex of the public library in our house there are so many books.
