Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    3 medium onions, peeled, halved then sliced in transparent pieces

    4 cups beef stock (left overs from pressure cooker chuck roast)

    4 cups water

    1/2 stick unsalted butter

    2 tsp. minced garlic

    generous pinch herbs d' Provence

    1/2 tsp. sea salt

    2 tsp. fresh ground black peppercorn

    4 Tbsp. grated Parmesan Cheese






Tips

I used the cast iron skillet from breakfast that we had fried sausage and bacon in for omelets. This gave a GREAT browning color to my onions. Be sure to use HOT water for rinsing the hot skillet from your onions so it doesn't make such a mess or possibly warp your pan.


Directions

Caramelize onions: Use cast iron or heavy stainless steel skillet , add butter, garlic and onions. Cook over medium heat for 45 mins. Stirring frequently until onions are browned well. While onions cook, add into beef broth, water, French herbs, salt and pepper. When onions are done, transfer to soup pot with spiced beef broth. Add hot water to hot skillet first then add into soup pot. Simmer for 1 hour. Garnish with 1/2 Tbsp. of the Parmesan for each serving.
