French Onion Soup
This, if you want it to be authentic, should have a slice of gluten free bread on it, but you don't HAVE to have it. You could just gob ooey-gooey cheese on top. You can find gluten free bread at health food stores like Whole Foods and even Trader Joes (Brown Rice Loaf). Tip about gluten free bread -- toast it! It tastes a whole lot better for your guests.
-2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion (2 large)
-2 tablespoons butter or margarine
-4 cups beef broth (SWANSONS regular and organic..NOT SEASONED...PACIFIC NATURAL FOODS are gluten free)
-2 tablespoons dry sherry or dry white wine (optional)
-1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (LEA AND PERRINS is gluten free)
-Dash black pepper
-6 slices GLUTEN FREE bread, toasted
-1 cup shredded Smoked Cheddar, Gruyere, or Jarlsberg cheese (4 ounces)
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan cook onion, covered, in hot butter over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and golden, stirring occasionally. Stir in broth, dry sherry (if desired), Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, arrange toasted bread slices on a baking sheet. Evenly divide cheese among slices. Broil 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is light brown and bubbly. Top each serving with a bread slice.
Serves 6 as part of a main course or 4 as THE main course.
