A Simple French Onion Soup

It's currently the 15th week of the @steemit-ironchef challenge. The special ingredient for this week is one of my favorites: The Onion. I could eat onions with pretty much anything, they are loaded with flavor and serve as a great natural detox for the body. In this recipe we will use a bunch of onions to create a simple French Onion Soup. You can use either red or white onions for this soup, but I chose to go with red this time.

Ingredients

4 Cups of Sliced Onions
1 Stick of Butter
2 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons of Sherry Wine
42 Ounces of Beef Broth
1 Teaspoon of Dried Thyme
French Bread
Provolone Cheese
Swiss Cheese

Salt & Pepper

Step 1: Melt Butter with Oil

In a large pot, melt the stick of butter with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Step 2: Add the Onions & Cook

Add the 4 cups of sliced onions and cook down until somewhat translucent

Step 3: Add the Broth, Sherry & Thyme

Pour in 42 oz of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of sherry wine. Sprinkle in a teaspoon of dried thyme and some salt & pepper for tasting. Simmer for a half hour.
