Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds or about 5 cups of thinly sliced yellow onions (Deb note: I find even 6-7 cups is never too much)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • A heavy-bottomed 4-quart covered saucepan
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar (helps the onions to brown)
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 quarts boiling brown stock, canned beef bouillon, or 1 quart of boiling water and 1 quart of stock or bouillon
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or dry white vermouth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons cognac
  • Rounds of hard-toasted French bread (see following recipe)
  • 1 to 2 cups grated Swiss or Parmesan cheese (Deb note: I always use cave-aged gruyere)
  • The preceeding onion soup
  • A fireproof tureen or casserole or individual onion soup pots
  • 2 ounces Swiss cheese cut into very thin slivers
  • 1 tablespoon grated raw onion
  • 12 to 16 rounds of hard toasted French bread
  • 1/2 cups grated Swiss, or Swiss and Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 very small clove minced fresh garlic or 1 tablespoon minced shallot
