Caramelized Onion Soup

Directions

Lora’s way:

Combine the onions, cooking liquid and broth in a large pot placed over moderate heat. (I had 2 cup of the onion cooking liquid after cooking them down in the crockpot so I used an extra 1½ cup of water).

Stir occasionally as the soup comes to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste (I didn’t add any salt or pepper as I didn’t think it needed it).

Preheat the broiler to high with the rack in the upper part of the oven.

Select 8 oven proof bowls and place them on a sturdy baking sheet or in a rimmed roasting pan. Ladle the hot soup into the bowls and top with a slice of toast.

Sprinkle generously with cheese and broil until the cheese melts and begins to bubble (I didn’t use the cheese).

Serve immediately.
