Cooking for Hubby or Onion Soup

Hubby hurt his back the other day. He went to the Doc. and is on Meds. But he isn't moving around to well. So I thought
I would make him one of his favorite dinners.

He loves Onion Soup!

Now I find that kind of strange because he HATES onions in any form. Except for Onion Soup.

So, here is my recipe.


Onion Soup ( Serves 4)

5 medium yellow onions peeled and sliced thin
3 T. butter
2 qts beef broth ( can be home made or store bought)
3 small cloves of garlic (I smash them with my knife and then chop them)
1T Worcestershire Sauce
4 slices of a Good French Bread
8 slices of Provolone Cheese (you can substitute any good melting cheese)

Saute the onions in the butter until they have a little color. They should be soft.
Add the garlic a few minutes before the onions are done. Don't over cook the garlic.
When the onions and garlic are cooked put them in a stock pot and add the broth. Stir to mix.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir again.
Put a low fire under them and let them simmer for at least 1/2 hour.

Once everything is ready preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Place the bowls on a cookie sheet to make clean up easier.
Then ladle the soup into the bowls leaving just enough room to put the bread into the bowl.
Put the bread on top of the soup. If there is any room add a little more soup.
Lay two slices of cheese on top and put the entire cookie sheet and soup into the oven.

Heat the entire thing until the cheese is melted. Be careful when you remove the cookie sheet and bowls from the oven, they will be VERY HOT.

Serve the soup with a salad and your done.
