French Onion Soup





Serves 4 |
A rich, easy to prepare soup that makes a great appetizer.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 yellow onions, thinly sliced |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 cups water |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
2 1/2 teaspoons flour |
1 cup beef broth |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
4 thin slices French bread, toasted |
2 tablespoons grated Swiss cheese |
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese |
Directions:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, thyme, and 1 tablespoon of water. Cover; cook for 5 minutes. Uncover; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until onions are golden, stirring, about 15 minutes.
