Recipe for French Onion Soup

Spring made it's appearance here then went back to bed this last week. The nights and mornings have been very chilly. Whenever it's chilly at night we love to make a nice warm soup for dinner. Last night for the first time I made French Onion Soup. I wanted to try an easy recipe. When I see a recipe with 20 ingredients and 15 steps I get overwhelmed. This one was easy and came out really yummy. Now this is an onion soup so if you don't like onions this one is not for you;)

Notes*
If you are making this Kosher I used the parve Osem Beef Consommé to make the broth and I used what Kosher cheese I could find. Still came out very good.
I am still counting my carbs but if you're not this would be so good with french bread;)


What you will need:
3 tablespoons butter
4 cups thinly sliced onions, about 4 to 5 medium onions
A few sprinkles of Garlic Powder
A drizzle of Worcestershire sauce
4 cups beef broth 
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions: 
In a large skillet over medium low heat, melt butter. Stir in sliced onions sprinkle with garlic and worcestershire sauce and cook on medium low heat till the onions are golden in color, about 20 minutes. In a medium saucepan, combine beef broth and sautéed onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Add 1 cup shredded cheese to soup and stir well. Pour French Onion Soup into 4 individual oven safe soup bowls or crocks and top with grated cheese and place under broiler till cheese is bubbly. 


Enjoy!
