Ingredients:

Cheese (Parmesan); grated
Cheese (Mozzarella); grated
Bread (French); sliced & toasted
1 tsp of sage
1 pc of Laurel leaf
2 c of wine (red); dry
4 cans of water
4 cans of consomme (beef)
3 Tbsps of flour
1 tsp of sugar (white)
1 tsp of salt
3 lbs of onion; thinly sliced
1 Tbsp of cooking oil
3 Tbsps of butter

Instructions:

Heat butter and oil until butter is melted in a large kitchen pot. Put in onions then stir evenly to distribute oil. Place lid back then cook on medium heat twenty minutes. When onions become soft and clear, take the lid off and then increase heat.

At this point add the sugar and salt, as sugar helps in caramelizing onions as well as keeping it brown. Continue to cook for half an hour. When onions become deep brown in color lower down heat and then slowly incorporate flour. Adding more of the butter to incorporate the flour into the mixture and turn it into paste.

Cook mixture for twelve more minutes. Take off from the heat then pour one cup beef consomme in your onions. Stir. Add the remainder of the consomme, wine, leaf, sage and water. Simmer for forty minutes.

When ready to eat, ladle onion soup in oven proof ramekins, place a toasted bread on top and grated cheeses. Broil until cheese melts and bubbly. Good for six persons.
