To die for French Onion Soup

[Guest guest]

This is a recipe for a nice break from PURELY healthy treats. The sodium is a

little higher than most meals and it contains dairy and meat juices which is not

for you vegans out there, but oh is it good.

--------------

Saute 2 sliced up very large yellow onions in dutch oven/pot in 5oz of olive oil

and butter/butter substitute. Reduce the onions to brown.

Optionally add half a cup of dry white whine.

--------------

In the vitamix pour 1 of those beef broth boxes/or vegan substitute from the

grocery.

Put in 1/2 - 1 carrot and 1/2 - 1 celery stalk

Put in 1 beef bouillon cube

Add salt and pepper to taste and mix until warm.

--------------

Pour vitamix contents in dutch oven/pot and reduce by 20-40%(to taste) while

stirring regularly.

--------------

Pour contents in ceramic bowls, drops in 5-6 salad croutons, cover with 3-4

slices of cheese. (I prefer mozzarella and provolone), broil in oven on high

until cheese is 50% browned.

--------------

Eat best damn french onion soup ever. Recommend dipping garlic Parmesan bread

chips of some sort, but that just increases calories.
