Here is the orignal Recipe

Quote: French Onion Soup 2 T. oil 3 T. butter 6 C. thinly sliced onions 1/2 t. sugar 2 1/2 qts. beef broth 1/2 C. dry white wine sprig fresh thyme (optional) salt and pepper to taste 8 slices slightly stale French bread 2 C. grated Gruyere cheese Heat the oil in a heavy 5-6 qt. pan. Add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onions and cook slowly, covered for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and salt. Cook onions slowly until onions caramelize and turn to a rich brown color. Do not let them burn! This will take 45-60 minutes. Add the wine and cook 5 minutes, still over low heat. Add the stock and check for seasoning. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. To serve: Toast the French bread slices until golden brown. Ladle the soup into a ovenproof bowl, add the toasted bread and cover with the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or 5 minutes under a hot broiler.

Now for my tweaked Version

Oil-Just enough to fill the bottom of the pan

3 T. butter

4 Onions (choped into 4ths or 8ths)

2Tsp Sugar

White wine

salt and pepper to taste

8 slices slightly stale French bread

2 C. grated Gruyere cheese

2 Boulean Chicken cubes (the ones you can make chicken broth with)

EDIT:Warchester sauce for taste

First The broth
1) Follow the directions for the chicken cubes (usualy its 2 cups of water per cube), boil and simmer.

2) Follow these same directions:
Heat the oil in a heavy 5-6 qt. pan. Add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onions and cook slowly, covered for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and salt. Cook onions slowly until onions caramelize and turn to a rich brown color. Do not let them burn! This will take 45-60 minutes.

Add the wine and cook 5 minutes, still over low heat. Add the stock and check for seasoning. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

But now add JUST a little pinch of garlic powder to taste. Add 3 drops of warchester sauce for taste.

Follow the same directions as above, you can use shirt bread too


Basically I just altered the ingrediants to what we had here. Ive heard you can use chicken broth so thats what I used. So far the broth taste excellent!

Now How do you not cry when cutting onions?
