My Dad loves this almost as much as he loves a good steak dinner. This one's for you Pops. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter |
1 lb onion, peeled and finely sliced |
salt and pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
2 teaspoons flour |
4 cups beef stock |
1 cup white wine |
french bread, sliced and lightly toasted |
swiss cheese, sliced or shredded |
parmesan cheese, fresh grated |
Directions:
1. In a big saucepan, melt the butter; add the onions, salt and pepper, and mustard.
2. Saute over low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are browned (20-30 minutes).
3. Add the flour and stir until smooth.
4. Add the stock and wine; stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
5. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
6. Note: can be made in the crock-pot and cooked on LOW all day after the ingredients are browned.
7. To serve: place French bread slices in oven-proof bowls, add cheeses over the bread.
8. Pour soup over the bread and place bowls under the broiler until the cheese melts.
9. Note: I put the bowls on a baking sheet then place them in the oven under the broiler.
