French Onion Soup (My Favorite)

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 6 large onions, thick french cut (I use a mix of red, yellow, white and sweet )
• 32 ounces beef broth
• 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• Worcestershire sauce, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• 1 French baguette, sliced
• monterey jack cheese, sliced

Directions

1. 1

   Melt butter in a stock pan.

2. 2

   Add onion, cover and sweat for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Add sugar and molasses and stir well. Cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Add flour and stir well to evenly distribute and avoid flour lumps, this will take a minute or two ( I add the flour a bit at a time to stop it from clumping).

5. 5

   Add beef broth, wine (if using), Worcestershire and pepper. Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   Put a layer of cheese on a baguette slice for each bowl of soup you will be serving. Bake in a 400°F oven until cheese has melted and starts to slightly brown.

7. 7

   Place baguette slice in bowls and ladle soup over.

8. 8

   Enjoy, I personally add more black pepper when I eat this.
