French Onion Soup

This is a quick and simple version of the traditional French Onion Soup which takes hours to make. It’s hearty enough for a meal. Serve it with a dinner salad.

Ingredients for French Onion Soup:

• 4 cups of beef broth
• ½ cup of white wine
• 4 large sweet onions, sliced
• 4 slices of thick sourdough bread, toasted
• 4 slices of Provolone or Swiss cheese
• 2 cups of spring salad mix
• ½ cucumber sliced
• 1 tomato, cut
• Salad dressing of your choice

Toss together the salad ingredients and place in the refrigerator until dinner is ready.
Cook the onions in ½ cup of the broth until tender. Allow the broth to cook down and brown the onions, about ten minutes.
Divide the onions into four oven-safe bowls.
Mix the remaining broth and wine and heat.
Pour the warm broth mixture over the onions.
Top with a slice of toast and a slice of cheese.
Place under the broiler to melt and brown the cheese.
Nosh on the cheesy soup with a salad.
