The addition of white wine makes this quick soup sensational-the crunch of French bread adds a nice texture and sops up the liquid wonderfully. Ingredients:
3 knorr beef bouillon cubes |
6 cups water |
4 tablespoons kerry irish gold salted butter |
3 large onions |
1 cup grated gruyere cheese |
5 slices french bread |
1 cup fish eye pinot grigio wine |
Directions:
1. Peel and slice onions very thin.
2. Melt butter on medium heat in a 4 quart pot.
3. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized ~ about 10-25 minutes.
4. Bring 6 cups water to boil.
5. Add Knorr bouillon [vegans could substitute MORGA vegetable broth] to dissolve.
6. Add bouillon all at once to onions.
7. Add wine and heat just to boiling.
8. Toast french bread.
9. Grate gruyere cheese ~ or use Sargento grated cheese ~ swiss or Monterey jack are best.
10. Pour very hot soup into bowls and sprinkle grated cheese on top.
11. Serve with piece of toasted bread.
12. This would be very good chilled in the summer, too.
