French Onion Soup

On a cold day, there is nothing better than a steaming hot bowl of ramen. But if that is to unhealthy for you, instead you can have french onion soup. It is very tasty, and I get a lot less sodium, which is supposedly bad for me. Anyway, here is a recipe for the soup that my mom found in her huge vat of recipes, when she only uses a few(but delicious).
In Saucepan melt 3 Tablespoons butter, add 3 large onions, diced, and saute. Stir in 1 Tablespoon flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp ground pepper, add 6 beef bullion cubes, and 6 cups of water. Cover, bring to a boil for 20 min. Cut french bread and sprinkle with Parmesan, toast under preheated oven at 450. Put bread on top of soup in a casserole dish. Sprinkle 2 T Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of grated Swiss cheese on top. Place in oven for 15 minutes, until cheese melts.
So the recipe ended up with the quinnessential applause that my cooking evokes. Another month, and another post done.
