French Onion Soup

Ingredients:

2 Tb Butter
2 lbs Yellow (sweet) Onions (halved and sliced 1/2 " wide)
2 qt Beef Stock (about 4 cans or 60 ounces)
2-4 Tb Beef Soup Base or Bullion
1/4 cup freshly ground Romano Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot and saute the onions over medium-low heat until they soften and turn golden brown (keep stirring and adjust the heat so they don't burn). Add the beef stock and simmer 10 minutes. Whisk the grated cheese into the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve French Onion Soup "Au Gratin," pour into oven proof soup crocks, top with toasted, sliced French bread and sliced or grated cheese(Grayer, Mozzarella, Swiss or Parmesan, or any combination thereof). Broil until the cheese melts and carefully remove from the oven.
