Steve's French Onion Soup Recipes

Ideal for a winter night.  Traditional French Onion Soup uses beef broth, but my wife doesn't eat red meat, so I usually make it with chicken and vegetable stock.

Slice onions 1/8 inch thick. 

In a large stockpot, melt butter over low heat.  Place onions in it and cook slowly for 1 1/2 hours.  Add stock and simmer for 1 hour.  Salt to taste. 

Slice baguette bread in 1/2" slices.  Put in toaster, to a medium brown.

Turn on broiler.  Spoon soup into oven-safe serving dish, top with toast and equal mixture of the grated Emmenthaler and Gruyere.  Place under broiler, broil 3-6" away from heat for approximately 3-5 minutes.  (Watch it carefully -- you want a nice browning but not burning.)
