Description

Dorothy Kattengell's rich onion soup — sliced onions sautéed in butter, thickened with flour, and simmered in a combination of beef consommé, water, and bouillon. Served the classic way: ladled over a slice of French bread topped with Provolone or Mozzarella, then broiled until bubbly and golden.

  7. Top each bread slice with Provolone or Mozzarella cheese.
  8. Pour the hot soup over the bread and cheese.
  9. Place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the soup is bubbly on the edges.

Note

Sauté the onions slowly until they're truly soft before adding the flour — this builds the sweet base flavor that makes a great onion soup.
