Ingredients: 2 beef broth, 32 oz. each 1 chicken broth, 48 oz 4 beef bouillon cubes 2 T olive oil diced garlic salt and pepper to taste 1 T Mrs. Dash 1 T onion powder 1 T garlic powder 3 T sugar 2 bay leaves 2 cups red wine 1 tsp. thyme 2 tbsp. sherry 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 3 tbsp. flour 5 cups sliced onions Topping: Toasted bread or croutons Choice of shredded cheese, Swiss or Parmesan recommended Directions: 1) Combine chicken and beef broth in a deep pan over medium heat. Add 4 beef bouillons. Add Ms. Dash (salt-free), garlic powder, thyme, sugar, red wine, sherry and Worcestershire sauce. 2) Slice 5 cups of onions. Melt 8 tbsp. (1 stick) butter and garlic in a skillet on medium heat. Add a dash of olive oil. Add onions and saute until clear. After onions are done, add 3 tbsp. flour and stir for an extra minute or two. This flour will help thicken the soup. 3) Add onions to soup and add salt and pepper to taste. If you plan to use a salty cheese like Parmesan, may want to go easy on the salt. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes to allow it to thicken. 4) Top soup with toasted bread. Top with your choice of cheese: Parmesan, American, Swiss.
