Wonderings of a Working Woman

This was the easiest, quickest soup to make – French Onion.

Ingredients

• 4 cups thinly sliced onions
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 4 cups beef broth
• 4 slices French bread, toasted (really get the bread crispy!)
• 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese

Directions

1. In soup pot, cook onions, sugar, and pepper in oil until caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
2. Stir often, you don’t want the onions to burn.
3. Add broth; bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Ladle into ovenproof bowls.
6. Top each with bread and cheese.
7. Broil until cheese is bubbly (my oven took 5 minutes on high).

Mmmm, mmmm, good.
