List of Ingredients



• 4 TBS. butter
  
• 4 large onions thinly sliced
  
• 8 cups beef broth
  
• 1 TBS. sugar
  
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
  
• 1/4 c. dry sherry
  
• Dash of cognac
  
• salt to taste
  
• 6-8 slices French bread
  
• Shredded Swiss cheese
  






Instructions



1. Melt butter in a heavy skillet. Add onions and cook very slowly over low heat, stirring often, for at least 30 minutes. The slow cooking will bring their full flavor out and give them a deep golden color without scalding. While they are cooking, place broth in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. When onions are a deep gold, add them to the broth with the sugar and pepper. Add the sherry and cognac and simmer for 1 hour.
   
2. Place soup in individual bowls and place a slice of French bread on top with a layer of shredded Swiss cheese. Place under broiler and broil until cheese is bubbly.
