    Default French Onion Soup

    Saute onions in oil in Dutch oven over low heat until tender and golden yellow, about 20 to 25 minutes.
    Sprinkle flour over onions; cook a few minutes more, browning the flour well. Add stock and wine and bring to boil; add thyme and bay leaf. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes or so. Add salt and pepper to taste.
    Meanwhile, spread bread slices with butter and toast under the broiler, watching carefully to avoid burning.
    When soup is ready, spoon into 4-6 ovenproof bowls; top each with a slice of toast. Divide cheese evenly into 4-6 portions and sprinkle one portion over toast in each bowl.
    Place bowls on cookie sheet and bake in 400F oven for 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

    Thanks Tami, now I am hungry too! I love French Onion Soup. We got some of those special bowls you can bake the soup in and have not tried them yet. Now that I have a recipe, there is no excuse. haha...

    Cheers,

    Oh, I wanted to do this tonight but forgot to go and get the beef stock. It would have been so good too. We have about an inch of snow on the ground and it is still coming down. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

    Cheers,

    Shame on me! A French who had not yet visited the "kitchen" !

    The onion soup is what we ate in the early morning after having had a good evening in Paris. In the district of Les Halles, there is the famous "Pied de Cochon" (a legendary restaurant open 24/24 hours and 365 days per year). We went there after leaving nightclub, very tired but hungry ... long time ago when I was young...
