French Onion Soup 3

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

2 or 3 large Onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Butter
3 Tbsps Flour
2 x 16 oz. cans Chicken Broth
Freshly Ground Coarse Black Pepper
8 slices Italian Bread, cut 1" or more thick
1/2 cup shredded Provolone Cheese
1/2 cup shredded Swiss Cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese

Method

  1. Melt butter in heavy 4 quart pot. When butter is hot but not smoking, add onions cut in rings. Reduce heat after 1 minute to low and saute over low heat until onions soften and start to caramelize to a nice light brown color.
  2. Sprinkle on the flour and stir to dissolve flour. Pour in the beef broth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Bring to low boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer.
  3. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Divide soup into 8 bake-proof bowls. Place a slice of thickly sliced Italian bread in each bowl. Divide cheeses up evenly and sprinkle on top of bread slice. Place bowls of soup under broiler until cheeses melt and turn a golden color.
