Three Onion Soup Gratinee

---

Dh was out of town on a business trip and came home raving about this soup. This soup is a wonderful combination of sweet onions (vidalia work well when in season.), red onions and yellow onions. I was able to find this recipe posted on another web page. Hope you enjoy!!

Steps

---

In a large soup pot , melt butter oven medium-low heat.

---

Add all the onions along with 1 / 4 tsp black pepper.

---

Saute until onions turn a nice golden brown or caramelize , about 25 minutes.

---

Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from sticking to the pan.

---

When onions are brown , add the flour and stir until it disappears.

---

Turn heat to medium-high and add both stocks and the thyme.

---

Bring to a boil , lower the heat to low , cover and cook until soup is slightly thickened and is a medium-brown in color.

---

This should take about 1-hour , taste and adjust seasonings as necessary for personal taste.

---

Preheat the broiler and ladle soup into broiler-proof bowls.

---

Place 1 slice of toast in each bowl and top with the cheese.

---

Heat under the broiler about 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbling.

---

Serve immediately.
