I love French onion soup, maybe a little too much. I always get caught up making it, and forget to take photos. However, here is one of the easiest, most delicious recipes you'll find out there. Much thanks to my mom for showing me how easy this is! I've made a few changes.
Ingredients
4 cups thinly sliced onions (yellow or sweet)
1-2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/4 cup unsalted butter
6 cups of water
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce (low sodium is best)
1/2 cup sherry or red wine
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3-4 bay leaves
8 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon beef
1 pound of mushrooms, sliced
Directions
In a large pot, saute onions and garlic in the unsalted butter over medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
Add pepper, bay leaves, beef broth, white wine and Worcestershire sauce.
Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
A few minutes before the soup is ready, add mushrooms.
For a fabulous, complete dinner, add French bread (cubed) and top with provolone cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbly.
