French Onion Soup From French living.
Name:	French Onion Soup
Description:	What's more hearty, delicious, and elegant than French Onion Soup? We always try to keep plenty of homemade beef stock in the freezer and Gruyere cheese on hand so we can whip up this mouth watering delight in minutes. Of course we always have a case of frozen baguettes in the freezer so we can always make our own croutons.
Ingredients:	1 quart beef stock 1 Whole Onion, peeled 4 cups croutons 8 OZ Swiss Gruyere cheese, grated 3 TBS Olive oil Of course homemade croutons make this soup out of this world!
Directions:	Instructions: Thinly slice one whole onion. Separate the slices into individual rings. Sauté onion rings in 3 TBS olive oil until caramelized. Place caramelized onions in heat - safe bowl or soup tureen. Fill bowl or tureen to ¾ full with hot, homemade, Diamond F beef stock. Fully cover top of soup with croutons. Cover croutons with grated Gruyere cheese to desired depth and quantity. Put tureens in a flat cake pan or cookie sheet and place directly under a top broiler until cheese is melted and browned. Remove from broiler and set on cooling rack. With hot pads or oven mitts, place hot soup bowls on plates for handling. Serve hot and enjoy!
