French Onion Soup

For the love of onions, make this soup!



Here's what you'll need:


You might like it topped with cheese. This is my favorite.



Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat.



Slice onions...lots of onions!



Place onion slices in pot and cook on medium heat.



Saute' the onions until softened. I cooked mine for approximately 20 minutes.



Boil one cup water, then add two beef bouillon cubes to water and let cubes dissolve.



 Add bouillon mixture to onions.



Add beef broth.



Add garlic.



Add thyme.



Add salt.



 Add pepper and Worcestershire sauce.






Stir and simmer for 30 minutes.





Served mine topped with cheese and fresh cracked black pepper. Delicious with garlic toast.
