French onion soup (mon village)

10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 mediums Onions, Sliced
3 tablespoons Butter
2 Bay Leaves
48 ounces Beef Consomme
48 ounces Water
3 tablespoons HP (Steak) Sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
½ cup Dry Sherry
Salt
Pepper
10 Slices (Round) Bread, Toasted
pounds Mild White Cheddar, Sliced Thin

Directions

Saute the onions, butter and bay leaves in a large skillet until the onions are transparent. Combine the onion mixture with the consomme, water, steak (HP) sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sherry, salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.

Simmer for 5 minutes. Fill each serving bowl only ¾ full. Float a toasted bread slice on each. Cover the bread with cheese slices (about ¼ lb of cheese per bowl). Place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. Serve hot.
