Curried Onion Soup
"To make this comforting soup a carefree dinner and deepen its rich flavors, we started on the stove and ended in the crock-pot. We have fused the best of two cuisines, French and Thai, into one fantastic soup!" I saw this on a Taste of Thai newsletter and it sounded very interesting - it would be too spicy for the resident's here at the home, so I decided to post here for safekeeping.

- Add curry paste and stir until dissolved into onions.
- Add 1 can beef broth.
- Mix until any browned bits on pot bottom are released.
- Add remaining can of beef broth, consomme, sherry and browning sauce.
- Stir and bring just to a boil.
- Pour into crock-pot.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
- Alternatively, soup can be simmered on stove for 1-2 hours.
- Serve soup as is, or topped with bread rounds.
- Top bread with a generous portion of cheese.
- For a dramatic effect, serve soup in individual ovenproof bowls and broil 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts.
- Watch carefully so cheese does not burn.
