Z's Hearty Onion Soup

Submitted by Zaney1

"I was cleaning up and came across a tablet of hand written recipes that I had copied down from somewhere. I don't remember where they came from but I thought I should put them here for safe keeping. I haven't made this yet but it is on my list for when Fall gets here. I liked this b/c cognac in it. I don't usually use wine in cooking so I would be using 1/2 cup more broth."
