Delicious French Onion Soup in Thirty-Minutes

This simple soup is surprisingly filling and a wonderful dish to enjoy on a cold, rainy night. Why not make your own loaf of easy, delicious Artisan bread to go with it?

  • 1 T olive oil
  • 2 T butter
  • 6 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ cup white cooking wine
  • 6 cups beef stock (made from bouillon is fine)
  • 4 thick slices thick, crusty bread
  • Several slices sharp Cheddar or fresh Mozzarella cheese

Saute onions, herbs and spices over medium heat for 15-18 minutes. Add wine and simmer for 1 minute. Add beef stock and bring back to a boil. Toast the bread. Pour soup into bowls and put toasted bread on top. Arrange several slices of cheese over bread and, if desired, put bowls in hot oven till cheese has melted. Serve immediately with remainder of bread.

Serves 4. (This meal costs about £0.15/person.)

  4. Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had
    problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  6. Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm
    planning to start my own blog in the near future but
    I'm having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  9. I drop a comment each time I appreciate a post on a site or
    if I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion.
    Usually it is a result of the sincerness displayed in
    the article I read. And after this article "Delicious French Onion Soup in Thirty-Minutes".

    I was actually moved enough to create a thought :-P I do have
    some questions for you if it's okay. Could it be just me or does it seem like some of the responses appear as if they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional sites, I would like to follow you. Would you list the complete urls of your community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost
    on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like
    Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks a lot!
