I want to be like Julia!

For the past few days, I've been battling a scratchy throat.  I've been known to describe that sensation as "woody."  I didn't feel like making the standard Jewish penicillin (i.e., chicken soup), therefore, I decided to attempt a healthy French onion soup.  It was pretty good, could have used some more salt and butter, but we've got a wedding coming up!  Ha!  If it is any indication, Stephen had seconds!

French Onion Soup

Ingredients:

2 large onions, roughly chopped

6 Tbsp Sherry, dry or sweet

6 cups beef broth, fat free

1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

4 1-in slices, French bread

4 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large saucepan, combine onions and sherry; saute until onions are tender, about 6 minutes.

2.  Add broth and Worcestershire sauce.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

3.  While soup is simmering, toast bread in oven until golden brown (about 7 minutes).

4.  Place one piece of toast into each of four bowls.  Divide soup among bowls (about 2 cups each) and top with 1 tablespoon of cheese.

Mmmmmmmmm!  Delicious!
