Directions: |
Directions:In large pot melt butter and saute onions until translucent and you have worked a lot of the water out of them.
Add the flour and coat onions.
Turn up the heat and and caramelize the onions. Not rocket science but here is where you will mess up and burn the onions and start over.
After you have started over again, caramelize the onions.
Add the 6 bullion cubes and 5 pints of water to onion mixture and bring to a boil.
At this point you will want to add some kitchen bouquet to set the color of the soup to your liking.
Add the wine last before serving. This makes a good size batch and freezes great. If you are going to freeze, I would hold off on the wine until you reheat and serve.
To serve: put one round of day old baguette in bottom of bowl, Grind a little fresh Parmesan on bread and cover with soup. |

Notes: This recipe came out of an old English cookbook and originated in a pub. It claims to have been unaltered since the 1700's. Except they didn't have bullion and kitchen bouquet.
The serving suggestion is also the way the proletariat would expect to eat this soup. Just a warm filler and not the gooing monstrosity that restaurants do today to see how many calories of cheese they can melt on 4 oz's of soup.
