Wonderful soup. I used a scant 4 cups of onions and the white wine. It has a rich flavor without being over strong in anything. and the cheese looks wonderful with a nice touch of brown on it. It's company worthy and everyday easy to make and creates the most wonderful aroma. I had people following their noses into the kitchen wanting a sample. It's a keeper.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing.
I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us.
I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
