Onion Soup Question.

[BowHuntingFool]

Anyone got a recipe?

[jerseyhunter]

First fry 4 cups of sliced onions in 5 tbs of butter till golden brown stirring fairly regularly,you don' t want to hurry the process and burn them. Then simmer in about 5 cups of beef stock or broth for one hour. (Or add 5 bullion cubes to 5 1/3 cups of water.) Also in the pot add 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and a dash of worchestshire sauce.you way also add 1 teaspoon of salt if desired. Laddle this into an oven proof bowl, add a piece of fried toast and a slice of swiss and broil till melted. This goes great as a soup coarse with Prime Rib. Enjoy. Most of the time I use canned beef broth and throw in 1 cube for added flavor.
