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.
- Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the flour; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, remaining water, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil; skim off foam. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat broiler. Place 4 heat-proof bowls on a baking sheet; ladle soup into bowls. Top each with a slice of toast; sprinkle with Swiss and Parmesan. Broil until cheese is bubbly, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
