Quick Onion Soup

Makes 3 cups

Kari Plevan

Quick and easy french onion soup you can throw together in minutes, literally!

ingredients

1 medium onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
2 cups broth - beef is best but chicken or vegetable will do
1 cup white wine - or water
salt and pepper to taste
grated Parmesan or Swiss cheese

directions

1
Peel and finely slice the onion into half moons. Slice these in half again. Heat the butter over medium heat, then add the onions. Stir and cook over medium heat until they are slightly caramelized and soft - about 6 or 7 minutes. Don’t let them get too dark or the soup will be bitter.
2
Add the flour and stir until the onions are coated. Add the broth and wine, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the soup. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes or so, lifting the lid at the end to let it reduce a little. Taste and season. Serve with fresh grated cheese and good bread.

notes

I would actually carmalize the onions just a bit longer than the recipe calls for or else they still have too much of a crunch. Double to be able to serve two easily as well as have a small amount of leftovers.
