- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 6 cups onions, very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon season salt
- 1⁄3 cup unsalted butter
- 6 cups beef broth
- 8 slices crusty bread, toasted (I use French)
- 1⁄2 cup swiss cheese, shredded
directions
- In a large pot, cook onions, sugar, salt and pepper over medium-low for about 20-25 minutes. (Until onions are caramelized.).
- Add beef broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- To serve there are two options I do:.
- One is to put soup in oven proof bowls, put a slice of the toasted bread on top, then sprinkle cheese on top. Broil in oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Second is to place toast on a small plate, top with cheese and put in microwave for 20-30 seconds, then scoop that onto soup. Both ways work well.
- *I use a mandolin chopper to slice onions- works SOOO well.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a fifth grade teacher completely dedicated to my job. I spend most of my time correcting papers, working on lesson plans, and bettering myself as an educator. I love to share my joy of cooking and baking with my class through the use of recipe integration with math. I also bring a lot of treats to my kids. :)
I am also a newly-wed just finding my feet as a cook for more than one. My husband and I love to fish and hunt, and also to eat what we catch. We always have a freezer full of venison, elk, and various fish. I replace most of the beef in recipes with ground venison.
Many of my cooking skills come from my mother, who managed an upscale restaurant for a number of years. She also learned from her grandmothers, who were well know n for being fantastic chefs. My favorite recipe book is her collection in an accordion file that she has gathered since childhood.
As you can tell, I LOVE Spongebob. It is the best way to wind down from a long day- you don't have to think! :) I am an avid reader, and must always have a book with me. As a teacher, most books I read are fifth grade level, although I do get to enjoy an adult book every now and then. My husband is an avid Chicago Cubs and Green Bay Packer fan, so we watch a lot of sports. I love to be outside gardening, camping, taking walks, or just playing. We LOVE to grill, and my favorite is brats boiled in beer!!
