My French Onion Soup

Perfection simplified. A rich tasting soup that everyone will think you slaved over. Better than that you get at the fanciest place! The house will smell great too! Slightly freeze the onions for ease in slicing and less tears.

3/13/2010: I made a triple batch of this for an International Festival that hosted 900 family members of a local scout organization. Everyone loved it and I promptly started to get recipe requests. I'm gladly sharing the link on facebook! Thank you for such a simple and delicious recipe! UPDATE 3/31/10: I made some alterations to a batch of this soup to make it vegetarian. 3 cans veggie broth, 4 cubes Knorr vegetable bullion. It was FABULOUS! Thanks, again, for this great recipe!Reply
