My MIL keeps Kosher but didn't grow up that way - one of her favorite food memories from childhood was having french onion soup with her grandmother on Sundays in downtown St. Louis. I came up with this recipe to help her capture a childhood memory, in the process it has become a family favorite. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
6 cups sweet onions, diced (5-6 medium to lg onions) |
4 (1 ounce) packages lipton onion soup mix (or house brand) |
2 (32 ounce) boxes vegetable stock |
1 (750 ml) bottle port wine (or any heavy red wine) |
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon dried garlic or 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon italian seasoning |
1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1 loaf french bread or 1 loaf italian bread, thick sliced |
2 cups grated gruyere cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large saute pan melt the butter and add diced onions, cook until the onions are caramelized.
2. In an 8 qt crock pot mix all the ingredients together, put on high and let come to a boil - approximately 3 1/2 hours, then turn down to low and let simmer until ready to eat.
3. When ready to eat take sliced bread and put on a baking sheet cover with cheese and melt the cheese on the bread. Serve individual bowls of soup and then put the cheese bread on top of the soup ~ enjoy.
