Impossibly Easy Onion Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter with olive oil in an 8 quart stock pot on medium heat. Add onions and continually stir until tender and translucent. Do not brown the onions.
• Add beef broth, sherry and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven broiler.
• Ladle soup into oven safe serving bowls and place one slice of bread on top of each (bread may be broken into pieces if you prefer). Layer each slice of bread with a slice of provolone, 1/2 slice diced Swiss and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Place bowls on cookie sheet and broil in the preheated oven until cheese bubbles and browns slightly.

Steps:

• Place sliced onions and butter into slow cooker, and mix until onions are thoroughly coated. Stir in bread and chicken broth.
• Cover, and cook on LOW for 10 to 18 hours or on HIGH 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir well during last hour.

Steps:

• Place onions and butter in saucepan.
• Sauté on medium heat until onions are tender.
• Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes (don't let garlic burn).
• Add beef broth, consomme, and Woschershire sauce.
• Bring to a boil for 1 minute.
• Take ovenproof bowls (I use over-sized coffee mugs) and place 0.125 cup of cheese in bottom of each bowl.
• Fill bowl with soup leaving room at the top.
• Place toasted French bread on top.
• Top with 0.125 cup Swiss cheese.
• Place under broiler until cheese is bubbly.
• Serve immediately.
• Caution--bowls will be hot!

Steps:

• NOTE: the recipe calls for liquid bovril not powder bovril. I use Knoor bouillon concentrate. The computer did not recognize this ingredient, so please make this adjustment.
• This recipe is for a single serving. For 2 people, double the recipe -- for 3 people, triple the recipe, etc.
• Saute the onion in the butter until tender. Add bovril, worcestershire sauce and boiling water.
• Simmer for 1/2 hour.
• To serve: Sprinkle some parmesan cheese and serve ~or~ place soup in oven proof bowls. Shread a piece of french bread into the bowl. Grate some mozzarella cheese and add to the bowl. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake in 375 oven for 20 minutes or until cheese has melted.
