French Onion Soup




Source of Recipe


adaption of several recipes found on the internet






Recipe Introduction


My mom made a comment a couple of weeks ago about how she made French Onion Soup by using the mix and adding some onions. I knew I could do better from scratch and that's what I did. I had a hard time finding a recipe without alcohol or a broiler involved so I adapted the ones I found into something I could use.





List of Ingredients



• 1 tbsp olive oil
  
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
  
• 3 onions, chopped
  
• 1 tsp dried chives
  
• 4 c beef broth or stock
  
• 1 c water
  
• croutons
  
• grated parmesan cheese
  






Instructions



1. Heat oil in stock pot over medium heat.
   
2. Add garlic, onion, and chives, and cook until onion is translucent, stirring often.
   
3. Add broth and water.
   
4. Simmer 15 minutes, uncovered.
   
5. Add 5 or 6 croutons to the bottom of a coffee mug or small bowl.
   
6. Pour soup over croutons and sprinkle on cheese.
   






Final Comments


Serve with a salad and maybe some rolls and you have a whole meal for mere pennies.
