    Title: Classic French Onion Soup
    Categories: Vegetables, Wine, Beef, Breads, Cheese
    Yield: 12 servings

    5 tb Olive oil; divided
    1 tb Butter
    8 c Thin sliced onions
    3 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 c Port or dry sherry
    64 oz Beef broth
    1/2 ts Pepper
    1/4 ts Salt
    24 sl French bread baguette; 1/2"
    - thick
    2 lg Garlic cloves; peeled,
    - halved
    3/4 c Shredded Gruyere or Ementhal
    - cheese

    In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter over
    medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until softened,
    10-13 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring
    occasionally, until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes.
    Add minced garlic; cook 2 minutes longer.

    Stir in wine. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is
    reduced by half. Add broth, pepper and salt; return to a
    boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, stirring
    occasionally, for 1 hour.

    Meanwhile, set oven @ 400oF/205oC.

    Place baguette slices on a baking sheet; brush both
    sides with remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Bake until
    toasted, 3-5 minutes on each side. Rub toasts with
    halved garlic.

    To serve, ladle soup into twelve 8 oz. broiler-safe
    bowls or ramekins on baking sheets; place 2 toasts in
    each. Top with cheese. Broil 4" from heat until cheese
    is melted.
