French Onion Soup

This is a simple version of a fancy French Onion Soup, at school I have limited ingredients to work with, so I came up with this recipe and it seemed to be a big hit. I hope you enjoy it too.

The recipe for French Onion Soup is as follows:

French Onion Soup 

In a large stock pot, add 1/4 c. Canola oil or Olive Oil and 1/4 c. Butter, heat until oil and butter melt, add 6 Sweet Onions (slice thinly), cook until onions are caramelized. Add 2 qts. water and 3 T. Beef Base. Add salt and pepper to taste, 2 T. sugar, 1 t. Worcestershire, cook until heated through. Add more water if needed, adjust seasonings to your liking.

To serve:

In a bowl place 1/2 c. homemade croutons, top with Shredded Mozzarella, Swiss or Provolone cheese, ladle soup on top and serve.

Recipe for Homemade Croutons is as follows:

Homemade Croutons

In large bowl add 1 c. Olive Oil, 2 T. Italian Seasonings, 1 T. Garlic Powder, 1 T. Paprika, 1 T. Salt, and 1 T. Pepper, mix together well. Add 1 loaf of bread cut into cubes (I leave the crusts on). Mix together, place on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, stir and continue to cook until croutons are golden brown and not soft anymore. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Enjoy your soup.
