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.

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.
