FRENCH ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• When you're ready to eat, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the slices with the Gruyere and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Ladle the soup in bowls and float several of the Gruyere croutons on top.
• Alternative method: Ladle the soup into bowls, top each with 2 slices of bread and top with cheese. Put the bowls into the oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese.

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and heat on high heat while the onions are cooking. Add the onions to the crock pot and set the heat to low. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 3-5 hours or until the flavors have melded. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the baguette into thin slices and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F until toasted, turning once during the cooking time. Place the toasted bread slices (1-3 slices) in the bottom of individual soup crocks or bowls. Sprinkle the toasts with the cheese. Remove the bay leaves from the crock pot. Ladle the hot onion soup over the bread slices so the cheese melts. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Slice the onions into rings and saute in butter in a skillet until tender.
• Turn crock pot on to low and put in the cans of beef broth, bay leaves, dash of garlic powder and salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and 3/4 cup of water. When the onions and butter mixture is tender, then also add them to the crock pot.

• When about ready to serve, slice bread into thin slices and toast in oven on 350°F or in toaster oven until just crusty. Put toasted slices (1-3) in bowl and cover with the cheese (adjust cheese to your liking). Then cover bread and cheese with hot soup. The cheese will melt and the bread will rise to the top.
