Yummy! This is my favourite french onion soup. You could spruce it up with a fancier cheese, but we love to quickly whip it up with ingredients on hand.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion
1/8 teaspoon thyme
2 ounces port wine or 2 ounces sherry wine
900 ml beef broth
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
pepper
2 slices day old French bread
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • In a large saucepot, melt butter in olive oil and cook onions over medium-high until nicely softened. Add thyme.
  • Pour in port and allow to cook mostly off.
  • Add beef broth, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Pour into soup bowls. Top with snug-fitting slice of bread (toasting helps it stay afloat) and shredded cheese.
  • Broil until cheese is golden. Serve immediately.
