Traditional Onion Soup

A substantial first course or a light meal in itself. Use Walla Walla or Vidalia onions when available for their remarkable sweetness, and garnish with chopped green onions or chives.

Servings: 6

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/3 cup Lea & Perrins® The Original Worcestershire Sauce
• 4 1/2 teaspoons Wyler’s® Beef Flavored Granules
• 6 slices french bread, cut 1-inch thick, buttered & toasted

Directions

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion in butter for 7 to 8 minutes, or until transparent. Sprinkle flour over onions and cook for another minute, stirring occasionally. Add Worcestershire Sauce, 4 1/2 cups of hot water and granules, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Preheat broiler. Place one bread slice in each ovenproof bowl and ladle soup on top. Sprinkle with cheese and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown.

Here's a tip: If preferred, cut toasted bread into cubes before placing into soup bowls. Or use large-cut, seasoned croutons. One tsp. of Wyler’s Granules is equivalent to one bouillon cube.
