Classic French onion soup with Gruyere and Parmesan, crusty French bread, and rich beef broth - a timeless dinner favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons margarine or butter
  • 4 cups thinly sliced onions
  • 5 cups beef broth
  • 1 beef-flavor bouillon cube or 1 teaspoon beef-flavor instant bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash pepper
  • 4 oz. (1 cup) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 slices French bread, toasted
Instructions:
  • In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, gently melt the margarine over low heat. Add the onions and cook for 15 minutes until they are golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the broth, bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the cheeses together.
  • For a perfect finish, arrange 6 ovenproof bowls on a baking sheet. Fill each bowl with soup. Add a slice of toasted bread on top and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture on each. Broil the bowls 3 to 5 inches from the heat for 1 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
