directions

  • Slice the onions very thinly (very important).
  • melt margerine over low heat and add onions.
  • cook over low heat for 1- 1 1/2 hours until carmelized, stirring every five minutes.
  • add garlic, thyme and bay leaf
  • This will make about 3 cups of onions.
  • For each cup add one cup of broth made from the boullion.
  • Combine with 1/2- 1 Tbsp of worcestershire sauce (to taste). Add dry white wine and port wine
  • Remove the bay leaf from the soup and ladle the soup into 4 individual soup bowls or crocks, leaving 1 inch from the top of each bowl. Cut the sourdough bread into chunks and add them to each bowl of soup.
  • Garnish with grated Gruyère cheese (optional)
  • Freeze the onions in one cup portions so you can make fresh soup whenever you want it.

  1. 5 stars for a very nice carmelized onion base. i tweaked this a bit, added beef soup base and water, thyme, cracked pepper and 1/4 cup brandy, served w/toasted bread and light parmesan- no leftovers:)
     
  2. This was my first time making onion soup and it was so good and the recipe is very easy.
     
  3. This was a tasty soup that I will make again. I substituted cooking spray for the margarine & used a dry red wine. I also made the bread chunks into croutons. Thanx Mimi!
     
  4. Delicious! THis is another one of those weekly staples

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
