PATTY'S FRENCH ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Put butter in a large pot.
• add the onions and sauté till translucent.
• Add two tablespoons instant blending flour and stir well.
• Add 4 cans of beef bouillion, and 3 cans of water.
• Add 1-2 tsp black pepper.
• Simmer, without letting boil, (I usually make in the morning and let simmer most of the day).
• Taste test for strength of broth, you want it beefy-- add more bouillon if needed, and pepper if not peppery enough.
• Fill french onion soup bowls with the soup.
• Top with a Rusk, then grated mozzarella and parmesan.
• Bake in hot oven 400 degrees till cheese is golden and bubbly.
• You can brown up the cheese with the broiler if needed.
• This makes quite a bit, but it stores in the fridge and can be re heated.
• It will look yucky when you go to reheat as the butter comes to top and hardens-- but once heated is fine.
• Enjoy!
