I tried this recipe for dinner last night and it was so yummy! Even John really liked it and he doesn't like French Onion Soup.
2 tbs butter
5 medium red onions, thinly sliced
3 cans (14 oz) chicken broth (6 cups)
1 can (14 oz) beef broth (2 cups)
1/4 cup grape juice
1 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
salt
black pepper
1. Melt butter in large pot over med-high heat. Add the onions and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir to coat the onions thoroughly with butter.
2. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are reduced and syrupy, 20-30 minutes. The bottom of the pot will be coated with a brown crust. Adjust your heat to make sure this is browned and not burned.
3. Sitr in the chicken and beef broths, grape juice, parsley, thyme and bay leaf. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen all the yummy brown bits. Simmer 20 minutes.
4. Stir in balsalmic vinegar and season with salt and pepper if needed.
5. Serve topped with croutons and lots of cheese. If your bowls are oven safe place them under the broiler for 5 minutes to melt and crisp the cheese for a nice finish.

Delicious looking! Did you add any wet noodles just for fun?:)
Your are quite the gourmet (emphasize the "T") cook! Your Papa (my dad) used to make terrific French Onion Soup, so this reminds me of him! I'll have to try it! He used to make everyone their own portion in ovensafe custard dishes. It made us feel so special! XOXO
