The Occasion: A leftover recipe from Soup Week. I love French Onion Soup. Always order it at restaurants. I thought it'd be neat to have a version I could make at home. I tried this cheater version (cheating because it uses condensed French Onion Soup) and loved the result.
The Recipe: From Taste of Home's 2011 Annual Recipes cookbook.
How it Went:
Pete thought it was good enough to make for an appetizer for guests! I thought it was easy and tasted as good as any diner's version.
What You Need:
onions
butter
sugar
flour
beef broth
condensed French Onion Soup
croutons
swiss cheese
Your Turn:
Slice up 5-6 medium yellow onions. I guess you could use fewer of a larger variety of onion. The recipe did not specify type.
Melt 3-4 T of butter in the bottom of a soup pot. Saute onions until tender.
When tender, add 1/4 C sugar.
Stir and let caramelize just a bit.
When lightly browned, add 2 T flour and mix well.
Now add
- 2 cans (or 29 oz) beef broth
- 2 C water
- 2 cans condensed French Onion Soup
Bring to a boil, then let simmer about 10 minutes.
Add 1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese.
Add croutons and a slice of swiss cheese to each bowlful.
