French Onion Soup

A really delicious, simple onion soup recipe that is good any time of the year.

3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon oil
3 large onions, sliced
3 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
5 (16 ounce) cans beef broth
3 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup Port wine
¾ cup Burgundy wine
Baguette
Mozzarella, Gruyere or Swiss cheese

In a large soup pot, melt the butter with the oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the sugar and flour, and cook for 1 minute. Add beef broth, water, burgundy, port, salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 hours.

Slice the baguette and toast. Preheat the broiler. To serve, pour the onion soup into crocks. Place a piece of baguette on top. Cover bread with your choice of cheese. Place on a baking tray and then place it in the oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Note: If you prefer not to use the port or burgundy, just add more beef broth or water to equal the amount of port and burgundy used in the recipe.

do we need the wine to make this dish ? is there something else we can use?

[lynnsrecipes]

@sweetums420 - You don't have to use the wine - just substitute with more beef broth or water and it will be fine.

Onions weren't really caramelised at all... It should take about 45 minutes before you put the stock in.

@sweetums420 You can use sherry instad of wine, and if you want non alcoholic, you cans use alcohol free beer.
