French Onion Soup Recipe
4-5 Onions - sliced very thin
1/2 cube (1/4 lb.) Butter or Margarine
2 Tbls. Flour
1/2 cup White Wine Cranberry juice
4 Cans (10 oz. ea.) Condensed Beef Broth
4 Cans (10 oz. ea.) Condensed Chicken Broth
8 Cans Water
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Thyme
(No salt needed, there is enough in the broth)
Swiss Cheese (either grated or sliced) for top
French Bread Slices
Melt butter in pan on medium heat with the sliced onions. Mix onions with butter and cook for a few minutes to tenderize the onions (about 5 minutes). Sprinkle flour over the onions and mix. Add the white wine and mix. Add all the broth and water, and the pepper and thyme. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 30-40 minutes. Toast slices of French bread; lay a toasted slice in the bottom of the individual soup bowls; lay Swiss cheese on top of the bread slice. Pour very hot soup over the cheese & bread, and it will rise to the top. VOILA! you have onion soup that the French couldn't tell from their own!
