Ingredients

  • 4 large onions sliced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 8 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • French bread sliced and toasted

Instructions

  • In a 4-quart stockpot, sauté onions in butter over medium heat for about 8 minutes, or until caramelized to a nice golden brown, stirring frequently so they don't burn.
  • Add wine and continue to sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Slowly stir in flour.
  • Stirring to keep lumps from forming, add water, onion soup mix, salt and pepper; bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Ladle into bowls and place a piece of toasted French bread in each.

Tips

  • The traditional topping used for onion soup is Gruyere cheese. If you have trouble finding it, substitute Swiss cheese. Top the toast with a slice or two of cheese and broil for 3 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly.
