     Title: sFrench Onion Soup
Categories: Vegetables, Wine, Breads, Beef, Cheese
     Yield: 5 Dervings

     3 tb Unsalted butter
     3 lb Onions; peeled, thin sliced
   1/2 ts Salt; more to taste
     2 qt (8 cups) beef stock
     1 c  Dry white wine
     1 tb Dry sherry
     1 tb A-P flour
   1/2 ts Black pepper; or more
          French bread in 8 to 12 1/2"
          - slices
 1 1/2 c  Grated Gruyère cheese

 Melt butter in a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Add
 onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir and cover, letting
 onions soften for 5 minutes. Remove lid and let onions
 caramelize until golden brown over medium heat, stirring
 occasionally. Adjust heat if onions are browning too
 quickly. The caramelization process may take 45 to 60
 minutes.

 Meanwhile, warm broth in a saucepan over low heat.

 Once onions are caramelized, add wine and sherry to the
 pot and allow mixture to come to boil. Stir in flour and
 let thicken for a minute or two.

 Slowly add warm broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper
 to the onion mixture and boil uncovered for 10 minutes.
 Add more salt and pepper to taste.

 Heat the broiler, and arrange individual ovenproof
 casseroles on a baking sheet. Ladle soup into
 casseroles, and cover top with bread slices. Sprinkle
 each casserole generously with Gruyère. Broil for a
 minute or two, watching carefully, until cheese melts
 and browns. Serve immediately.

 UDD NOTES: If you don't have "oven-proof" bowls, toast
 the bread slices w/cheese on top in a toaster oven and
 ladle the soup into regular bowls and place toasted
 cheese bread atop. Also, instead of adding the sherry
 while cooking - add a TB to each bowl just before the
 broiling.
