Here's what you do:<br /> <br /> Put a big pot (cast iron enameled french cookware works best) on medium high, and melt some butter and oil in it. Start slicing 6 medium onions, adding them to the pot as you slice them. Then let them get soft and brown, stirring them often. This will take about 20 minutes.<br /> <br /> At this point, add salt, pepper and a little bit of thyme, then add about 1/2 a cup of dry Sherry. Deglaze the pot with it, let it evaporate. Pour in 6 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil, and turn off, let steep for however long you want. It's soup, so it'll taste better the longer it stays in the pot.<br /> <br /> When you're ready to eat, ladle soup into a bowl, add a few croutons on top, sprinkle with gruyere cheese and some more thyme, and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling.<br /> <br /> Enjoy deliciousness.<br /> <br /> I was fresh out of thyme, so in a pinch I substituted rosemary for it. You know what?, it actually works...</p> Wed, 05 Apr 2006 10:29:47 -0700 2006-04-02T20:45:36-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (ilmungo) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/123814244 French onion soup <p>French onion soup is so easy to make, and exceedingly delicious.
