How to cook onion soup
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in saucepan and fry onion in this until golden brown but not burnt.
- Add the flour and sugar and stir over low flame until brown.
- Add the stock and season with salt. Stir over low heat until it boils; then leave to simmer slowly for 10 minutes.
- Butter and toast the sliced bread and put into the Soup tureen.
- When toast rises to the top, sprinkle liberally with grated cheese and run under boiler for a few minutes to
melt the cheese. - Alternately, the toasted bread may be floated in individual oven-proof dishes, then sprinkle with grated cheese and run under the broiler.
- Yield: 5 servings.
