How about some French Onion Soup? We've tried to make French Onion Soup MANY times over the years, but this is the first one we've ever made that we actually LOVED. YUM. You should definitely try it out! :)

French Onion Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 1 Tbsp oil
• 3 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp. brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 2 x 10- ounce cans condensed beef consomme
• 2 Tbsp. medium sherry (we replaced this with 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar + 2 tsp. sugar + dash lemon juice)
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 8 slices French bread
• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 c. grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese
• salt and black pepper
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, to garnish

Directions:

1. Heat the butter and oil in a large saucepan and cook the onions and brown sugar gently for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions start to turn golden brown.
2. Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the consomme plus two cans of water, then add the sherry and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer gently for another 25-30 minutes.
3. Preheat the broiler and just before serving, toast the bread lightly on both sides. Spread one side of each slice with the mustard and top with grated cheese. Broil the toasts until bubbling and golden.
4. Ladle soup into bowls. Pop croutons on top of each bowl of soup and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
