French Onion Soup

I tried French Onion Soup a while ago and had a disatrous outcome! So when a friend made some this last month, I was sooo excited and hers turned out really good! I don't know how I messed up, but with the abundance of onions I have I am going to try her tried and proven recipe! This is her recipe from the Lion House Christmas recipe book!

French Onion Soup

• 3 cups sliced onions
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cups beef stock (or 2 cups water and 2 tbsp beef soup base)
• 2 cups chicken stock (or 2 cups water and 2 tbsp chicken soup base)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 recipe Parmesan Toast Cubes (see below)

In a medium saucepan, saute sliced onions in melted butter until golden brown. Add beef stock, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan Toast Cubes just before serving. Makes 4 servings.

Parmesan Toast Cubes

• 1 loaf French Bread
• Butter, room temp.
• Parmesan cheese, grated

Slice French Bread into thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Spread each slice with enough softened butter to cover each slice. Sprinkle liberally with Parmesan cheese. Place slices under broiler and toast until light brown.

Remove and cut into large cubes.
