French Onion Soup

This is one of my favorite soups to make because it is so easy to do. It is perfect for a cozy night. Enjoy! Ingredients: 6 Large White or Yellow Onions 2 Tbsp. Butter Freshly chopped Thyme 6 Bay Leaves 4-5 Oz. Olive Oil 3 Qt. Beef Broth 2 Oz. Flour Croutons 1 Cup Madeira Wine 1 Tbsp. Concentrated Demi Glaze Shredded Cheese 1. Slice all of the onions going with the grain of the onion. Get a large pot ready. 2.Heat up the oil and the butter over medium heat. 3. Add all of the onions, coat with the oil and carmelize for 1 hour stirring every 10 minutes. They will become golden in color. 4. Add the wine and cook for 2-3 minutes to burn off the alcohol. 5. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes. 6. Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, and demi glaze. 7. Simmer for 1 hour over low heat. Season with salt and pepper. 8. Prep some croutons. Slice some french bread thin, arrange on a lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. 9. Ladle the soup into a crock, place a crouton on top, sprinkle shredded cheese liberally on top and broil until golden brown and bubbly.
