Ingredients
- 4-6 medium sized onions, the fresher the better
- 4 cups of beef broth, homemade is better but if your strapped for time store bought is ok as well.
- 1 Tbs. of butter
- 2 Tbs. of all purpose flour
- 1 small loaf of Italian bread OR Croutons of your choice
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 4-8 ounces of cheese, depending on how cheesy you want it.
Instructions
1. Chop onions into rough slices, they should be more or less uniform but you can choose your own thickness.
2. Cry like a little girl.
3. Add butter to a hot stew pot and once the butter starts to froth add the onions with some kosher salt and pepper to get the onions to release some juice and start cooking.
4. If onions are sticking to bottom of pot add a Tbs. of the beef stock to the mix. Cook onions until golden brown.
5. Sprinkle flour on top of onions and stir until the flour is incorporated.
6. Add beef stock immediately after the flour is added. At the same time, grate cheese and prepare bread for the onion soup bowl setup.
7. To assemble the soup bowls it's all about preference. I set them up like my mom which is with a lot of cheese. I add some cheese to the bottom before the soup, in the middle under the bread and on top of the bread.
8. Set oven on Broil at 500 degree's and add the bowls to the oven for about 5 mins or until the cheese is nice and melted.
9. Slurp that stuff up, salty goodness.
