	French Onion 05

		French Onion Soup Soup for four people. For or more large sweet onions, a bay leaf, 3/4 of a stick of unsalted butter, four cups of beef stock, slices of French Bread, or other bread and grated cheese (Swiss or American or whatever you like) for topping. Melt the butter in a covered soup pot. Slice the onions very thin, add them to the melted butter and stir to coat with butter. Cover and sweat over a low heat for about one half an hour. Uncover, turn up the heat and caramelize the onions. This will take a good hour. You have to be there to turn the onion slices or they will burn. Continue until they are a rich brown. Add heated beef broth and a bay leaf and simmer for about a half an hour. Ladle into oven proof bowls, add a little cheese. Top with the bread, add more cheese. Put under the broiler until brown and serve
