FRENCH ONION SOUP

This recipe is so easy, yet so yummy. I love to eat it with Philly Cheese Steak or Philly Cheese Chicken sandwiches. When I do that, I forgo the bread and pop the sandwich into a bowl and ladle the soup over and eat it with a spoon!!

3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
4-5 large onions sliced
1 teaspoon Thyme
5-6 cups beef stock or broth (quite often I just use the beef bullion in water)
Bruschetta, crusty garlic bread or croutons
Mozzarella Gruyere or Swiss cheese

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and Thyme. This will look like a lot of onions but trust me, it will cook way down!! Toss to coat.

Cook onions until they begin to soften and brown. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until onion begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 45-60 minutes.

Add broth and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Ladle into bowls, top with bruschetta, garlic bread or croutons and cheese. Pop under the broiler (optional) and serve!
