Simple French Onion Soup

^[9]

Nothing warms you up like this onion soup! At our house we like this it on a quiet, week day night.  Super simple and simply delicious!

Ingredients for this onion soup – 

• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 quart beef broth (I like to use an organic)
• 4 thick slices of sourdough baguette, lightly toasted
• 4 slices of jarlsberg cheese (big slices to fit across the soup bowl) or more if needed.

Making the soup – 

Saute the onions ^[10] in the butter until they are soft and golden. Stir them occasionally so they don’t burn.

^[11]
Add the beef broth and simmer until it’s hot and the flavors meld, about 30 minutes.

Spoon the soup into four bowls.  Top each bowl with a piece of toasted roll and a slice of cheese.

^[9]
Put the soup in the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let it cool before serving.

^[12]
Serves 4

Yep, it’s that easy! We like to have a grilled roast beef sandwich on the side. It dips perfectly in this soup!
