The secret behind this lower-carb recipe is the slow, low heat for the carmelization of the onion. Don't rush it - you won't regret it! Very tasty! Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 tablespoon shallot, minced |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 (1 g) packet splenda sugar substitute |
1 cup beef broth |
1/2 ounce dry sherry |
1 slice wasa |
2 ounces shredded gruyere cheese |
Directions:
1. In a 3- to 4-quart pan, combine onion, shallots, butter, and Splenda over medium heat.
2. Cook, stirring often, until onion is slightly caramelized and tastes very sweet, about 35 minutes.
3. (If onion begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low.) To pan, add broth and sherry.
4. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
5. Pour soup into ovenproof bowl.
6. Top with Wasa and cheese.
7. Place bowl on baking sheet; broil 6 inches from heat until cheese is bubbling and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
