Classic Onion Soup

Total Prep Time: 45 minutes

Serves: 6 to 8

I got this recipe off of a bag of onions from Groupe Vegco, Inc.  The recipe is courtesy of the National Onion Association.  I adjusted it  slightly.  The kids loved it and so did Michael and I!

4 large yellow onions, sliced

6 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp sugar

8 cups chicken stock

Salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 baguette French bread, sliced and toasted

Grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a large saucepan that holds at least 4 quarts.  Add onions; cook over medium heat 12 minutes, or until tender and golden, stirring often.  Add sugar and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.  Add stock; cover and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer 12 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.  To serve, ladle soup into bowl; float toast on soup.  Sprinkle with cheese.
