Quick French Onion Soup

I made french onion soup the other day and it was so easy to make. No more going out to the Deli or restaurants to get this soup. You can make it at a fraction of the cost and also taste yummier. This is a great way to utilize all the onions you have sitting on your counter. All the main ingredients are only caramelized onions, beef stock, and cheese. This is yummy goodness and you can cut the sodium by using low sodium beef broth or making your own. I like to add some kick to the recipe and put in some roast poblano peppers diced up. This recipe takes like only 30-40 min. to make.

Quick French Onion Soup:
1-2 medium sized onions
2 cups low sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup swiss cheese
half a loaf of french bread cut into 1/2 in. slices
half of a roasted poblano pepper, diced (use more or less depending on how spicy you want)

1. In a medium saucepan melt butter on medium heat. Add onions. Cook the onions on medium heat for 15 minutes until they are caramelized. Stir in the flour.


2. Add the beef broth and and simmer until onions are soft and tender. Add the roasted poblano peppers. Simmer for 1-2 minutes so peppers can blend into the soup.


3. Preheat the broiler.
3. Ladle soup in a bowl. Top with the sliced bread then add the swiss cheese. Put in oven and broil until the cheese is melted.
4. Serve.
