Perfection simplified. A rich tasting soup that everyone will think you slaved over. Better than that you get at the fanciest place! The house will smell great too! Slightly freeze the onions for ease in slicing and less tears.

SERVES 18 -20 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or margarine
3-4 large Spanish onions, sliced thin
3 tablespoons flour
3 cans beef broth
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 1/4 cups water
salt and pepper
garlic
dry garlic bread
crouton
mozzarella cheese
swiss cheese

Directions

1
In large dutch oven, melt butter.
2
Saute onions until golden brown.
3
Add flour and blend.
4
Add broth, and remaining ingredients.
5
Cover and simmer cook on low at least 3 hours.
6
Serve in ovenproof bowls, with garlic croutons floating on top.
7
Cover croutons with mozzaarella or swiss cheese and broil until the cheese melts.
8
This also works very well in the crockpot all day on low and freezes well.

Made this a couple of months ago...and forgot to review. I made 1/2 the recipe, but used white wine in place of some of the water, and added 3 t. of Better than Bouillon for a beefier flavor. Very good and will make this again for sure. Donna

Had too many onions left over from Thanksgiving and rolls so I was happy to find this recipe to use them up! This was a great onion soup! loved it - I'm cutting fat out of our diets so I used SmartBalance and it worked just fine in the recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Wow!! This French Onion Soup is the BEST!! I did not make any changes to your recipe. The flavor just bowled me over. I wish that I had homemade croutons but had to settle for store-bought. I topped with shredded Swiss cheese. A true delight to the palate. Thanks Laurie.

This is by far the best French Onion Soup I've had. I cut the recipe and made only a third for the two of us, using one large Peruvian sweet onion, 1 tbsp flour, 1 can of broth, 1 cup of water, etc. I didn't use the brown sugar at all because the onion was so sweet. I did not use the crockpot. The croutons were fresh garlic croutons made from a loaf of day old bread, made in the bread machine. I highly recommend this recipe.
