Homemade French Onion Soup

Had dinner out a few weeks ago & the kids ordered French onion soup for the first time. It got 2 thumbs up from both kids. So of course I heard, " Mom can you make some at home." So here is my version of French Onion Soup.

French Onion Soup
Ingredients
  • 3 large onions
  • 1 tbs butter
  • olive oil
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • 3 14 1/2 oz. cans of beef broth
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of a dark beer (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 loaf of French bread

Preheat large Dutch oven on low heat. Melt butter in pot. Add olive oil, about 2 turns around the pot. Thinly slice all onions. Add onions to pot. Cook onions on medium heat until translucent, stirring frequently. Add Worcestershire. Stir onions again, making sure to mix in Worcestershire. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add beef broth, beer & water. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

Pre heat oven to broiler setting on low.

Slice bread into about about 1 1/2 inches in thickness. Place slices of bread into soup crocks. Make sure the crocks or bowls are oven proof. Add onions soup broth to crocks. Just pour over the bread. Make sure you get enough onions in the crock. Add shredded cheese on top of soup. Place crocks on jelly roll pan & place in oven until cheese melts & is lightly brown. Take out of oven & enjoy.

Disney Update

I need your help. My friends on facebook have left my some ideas, but I want to hear from you. I did hear that there are great deals like stay 4 nights get 3 nights free. 1. What is the best time of the year to go? We were thinking early June. Maybe the second week. 2. Where to stay? We were thinking in the park. 3. Do we buy the meal plans? Some suggestions: Take your beautiful little girl to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique and make her a princess for an hour! Buy the meal plan if you're staying in a Disney resort- it's really, really, really cost-effective. And whatever you do, avoid 'It's a Small World'- it will turn you into a homicidal maniac. Try to find some books- knows the titles of some. They really helped me when we went. There's also some websites--she knows the addresses too! Good luck! It's a fun place & worth the time & effort.

I Don't Think So

Living on a dead end street SUCKS! We are always the last for everything. Since we are currently snowed in, I had to tell the hospital that we will not be having mom's surgery tomorrow. Not only are we snowed in, but they wanted us to be there at 5 am. Yeah right! Not with these cold teperatures & the risk of the roads being a complete sheet of ice. I don't think so.
