French Onion Soup

Very cheesy and delicous.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter
• 2  quarts  homemade beef stock or 4 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
• 2  lbs yellow onions, halved and sliced 1/2-inch wide
• 1⁄4 cup  freshly ground romano cheese
•  salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1  French bread

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot and sauté the onions over medium-low heat until they soften and turn golden brown (keep stirring and adjust the heat so they don't burn). Add the beef stock and simmer 10 minutes. Whisk the grated cheese into the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. To serve French Onion Soup "Au Gratin," pour into ovenproof soup crocks. Top with toasted, sliced French bread and sliced or grated cheese (Gruyere, Mozzarella, Swiss or Parmesan, or any combination thereof). Broil until the cheese melts and carefully remove from the oven.
