Henrys Onion Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Add onions; cook 20 min. or until golden brown, stirring frequently.
• Add broth and A.1.; stir. Bring to boil; simmer on medium-low heat 5 min.
• Heat broiler. Ladle soup into 6 ovenproof bowls; top with croutons and cheese. Broil 2 to 3 min. or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
