Onion Soup

There is one secret to this soup: use plenty of onions and cook them a long time. The other main ingredient is beef stock and you are best off if you have rich homemade stock on hand. You can still make a fine onion soup with canned stock but you must doctor it a little. Dilute three cans of condensed bouillon with only one cup of water, and add a quarter of a cup of dry white wine. This cuts the sweet taste common to many canned stocks.
