Melt in saucepan
1/4 cup butter
Add and stir occasionally till soft
3 large onions, sliced
Add
5 cans Campbells Beef Broth (NOT the consomme)
When simmering, add the following
1 cup dry white wine
Take 3 tablespoons of brandy and mash with fork into the brandy
2 oz. of a good blue cheese
Add that to the simmering soup
Season with ground pepper. I do not add any salt, there is enough in the broth
I slow simmer it for about a half hour or so. When ready to serve, put some garlic toasts in the bottom of some ovenproof soup bowls, add the soup and then add cheese to the top. I like to use a combination of a good Swiss and some sharp cheddar cheeses. Put under broiler till cheese melts. Put on your bib and enjoy!
Note: The recipe also calls for you to add 1/2 of a ripe Camembert when you add the blue cheese and brandy mix, but since I dispise smelly, spoon-able cheese, I do not add it. If you like it, you can add it.
