Sublime French Onion Soup

Our first great recipe is an easy 'sublime starter' or a meal in a bowl. My future daughter in law Lori and I prepared this hearty French Canadian traditional soup, on a chilly fall day up at the cottage, while the men were out chopping wood to stoke the wood cook stove.

'French Onion Soup'

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredience are:

- 1 1/2 pounds (675 g) onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil (or butter for some)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) Cognac
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) red wine
- 3 cups (750 ml) 'SuperSoy' Onion Broth
- Salt & pepper
- 4 nan bread croutes, or if you can afford to cheat, add 4 thickly sliced french bread for garnish
- Grate gruyere cheese for garnish or Slice tomatoe (optional)
sprinkle fine herbs

- 'SuperSoy' (Ground Beef) Alternative (optional add in for a Meal in a Bowl)*

1. Melt the butter or substitute with vegetable oil, and saute the onions until very soft,
at least 20 min. Add the Cognac and the wine, simmer for one minute.
* Optional Meal in a Bowl alternative:

Add the 'SuperSoy' (Ground Beef) at this time, brown lightly |

then Add the broth, and Simmer, covered, 45 minutes.

2. Check the seasonings. Ladle into ovenproof soup bowls and set on a baking sheet.

Top each with a nan bread croute. Sprinkle the top generously with cheese, or a tomato
slice topped with fine herbs mix.

3. Broil until the top is lightly brown, about 2 minutes.... and voila a yummy healthy soup.

Enjoy!
