I made some homemade French onion soup for tonight'sonion soup (800x600).jpg dinner. Maybe not so French. I only had Italian bread on hand but it didn't seem to make a difference. I thought I better have a soup night. Before long it will be warm weather in New Jersey and time for salads.
 

I like it too. Can't remember the last time I had some.

Marie Callenders has it on their menu.


Cute soup bowls Ruth.

. Very simple recipe. 4- 14 1/2 oz.cans of beef broth. I use 2 regular and 2 low sodium. It should all equal about 56oz total a little more or less doesn't matter. About 6 1/2 cups of sliced onions. I use my food processor for this because I'm lazy. About one pound of Mozzarella cheese more or less depending how much you like cheese. I had some left over. Toasted slices of french bread. I used Italian because that's all I had on hand. I made mine in individual crocks,you can put it in anything that will be ok under the broiler. Cut the bread to fit the top of the dish or bowl before you toast it. This you can do ahead. Brown the onions in about 1/4 cup of butter or margarine. Add a bit more if it starts to burn. I like to get them very brown. Then add the broth to the pan and simmer for 30 minutes. They say to add salt but I think the 2 cans of regular broth is just right. Divide it up into the dishes,put the toast on top,then top with the cheese and put under the broiler for a few minutes to brown and melt a bit. The original recipe says to sprinkle with Parmesan cheese which I don't like. you can use any cheese you like. It is extremely hot so be careful. This looks complicated but I gave step by step as to what worked for me. This would be easy to cut down.
 
Thank you so much Ruth for taking the time to write down your recipe. Will copy and may try it next week when we are expecting some cooler weather. Also would like to find some little bowls that can go under broiler.
Again, thank you.
