French onion soup is my absolute favorite thing to order in a restaurant until I found out how easy it is to make at home. It is always an impressive thing to serve for guests. Spraying the crocks lightly with nonstick spray makes clean up easy (something I learned the hard way). Now with ease of prep and clean up, I make this at home all the time.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup FRENCH'S® Classic Worcestershire Sauce
3 tbsp Olive oil
2 Sweet onions, sliced into 1/4" rings
1/4 cup Fresh chopped parsley
4 French baguette slices
4 Provolone cheese slices
4 cup Beef Broth
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a heavy based sauce pot to medium high heat. When oil is hot, but not smoking, add onions, salt and fresh cracked pepper and sautee for 2 minutes. Add worcestershire sauce and parsley and sautee another 2 minutes. Turn heat up to high, add broth and simmer another 10 to 12 minutes then turn heat off. Meanwhile preheat oven on broil setting. Take 4 ovenproof soup crocks and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Spray crock rims lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Ladel onion soup into the crocks and top with 4 baguette slices then followed by 4 provolone cheese slices on top. Place soup crocks in the middle rack of your oven and broil until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes, watching carefully to make sure cheese does not burn. Serve when cheese is slightly brown, making sure diners know crocks will be hot or a while.
