French Onion


French Onion Soup
One of my favorite, easy, fast and tasty things to make and eat.
Slice a large Vidalia Onion into 1/4 inch rings.
Sautee in a pan with butter until brown and golden and delicious onion juice and butter have formed a nice coating on the bottom of the pan.
In a pot boil four cups of water.
Add five cups of stock or broth (chicken, beef or vegetable - your choice).
For that real full body taste add four or five beef scallops to the soup.
Add a small whole onion.
Add a small handful of white rice.
Add a Bay Leaf.
Throw in about three black pepper heads.
Salt.
Add a bit of chopped dill and parsley.
Let all of that boil.
Taste for salt.
When the onions are done in the pan:
Add those to the pot. Stir, boil.
And...you're done!
Toast a couple slices of french baguette.
Use the same pan from the onions.
Place the toast in your serving bowl.
Ladle the soup in. Make sure to get a good amount of onions in there and perhaps a piece of meat.
Grate some cheese over the top, or place a nice thin slice right over the bowl. Serve as the cheese slowly melts into the soup. Mmmmm!
(Add flavors and spices as you go: if it tastes to you like the soup could use more flavor, add some more stock or salt, and so on...be creative...don't be afraid.)
