Fall Favorite…French Onion Soup!

This recipe is perfect for those first cool nights of fall. Also easy to whip together, even after a busy workday! You will only need 6 main ingredients, which you may already have in your pantry. This recipe is also incredibly cheap, my favorite!

I only had to pick up a few things at the market; bag of onions $2.44, small multi grain baguette $1.00, and a carton of broth $2.59.

Servings: 3-4

Ingredients:

1 T. Olive Oil

1 T. Balsamic Vinegar

4 cups Onion, thin sliced

½ t. Pepper   &     ¼ t. Salt

¼ t. Dried Thyme

1 Carton (32 oz.) Beef broth low sodium

¼ Cup red wine

Small whole or multi grain baguette, sliced ½ inch

Cheese for topping; provolone or mozzarella (any white cheese you have works!)

Directions:

1. Add oil and onions to a med-lrg size pot on medium-high heat, cook for 5 minutes. Then add S&P and vinegar, cook for another 15-20 minutes until onions are very tender and brown.

2. Add wine, cook for a minute.

3. Add thyme and broth. (extra pinch of pepper if you desire) Simmer for 30 minutes.

4. Toast bread and slice/shred cheese.

5. Ladle soup into bowls then top with bread and cheese. (Use as much or little cheese as you like) Broil for 2-3 minutes… EAT!
