    This is so awesome! It's very time consuming, but is nice for an occasional treat. I could barely finish one bowl, it's so hearty. I liked the amount of cheese and alcohol - I didn't think anything was too much.

    Authentic French Onion Soup Courtesy of Julia Child, There are a lot of French Onion Soup recipes on Zaar, but I think that this very authentic version deserves a place on the list After making many of the existing recipes with success, I wrote down this recipe while watching Julia Child in a very old episode of The French Chef It takes a little longer, but the time is very well spent It is also more detailed than others and includes fool-proof instructions for properly browning onions as well as many extra add-ins Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients The sage, wine, raw onion, and cognac are optional, but they contribute a lot, so use what you have The result is an out-of-this-world onion soup with an amazing depth of flavor You can make this even days ahead of time and then add the toasted bread ( croutes as Julia calls them) and cheese and bake it the day of This can be made vegetarian by using a beefy-flavored veg broth such as Better than Bullion Beefless broth instead of beef stock Try it and love it! Enjoy!, This is so awesome! It’s very time consuming, but is nice for an occasional treat I could barely finish one bowl, it’s so hearty I liked the amount of cheese and alcohol – I didn’t think anything was too much , Can you use white onions instead of yellow onions? Thank you, Heidi
