Hearty Onion Soup

---

A full-meal soup as delicious as the restaurant classic. And a great way to use your leftover pot roast or oven-roasted beef and not waste the drippings. Its a meal in a bowl but a green salad and some hearty bread are welcome additions if you want them.

---

Steps

---

Heat olive oil and butter together in a pan large enough to hold the onions and broth.

---

Saute onions very gently in half olive oil and half butter until soft and golden but do not allow them to brown.

---

Add beef and vegetables.

---

Heat through.

---

Add dripping and stock.

---

Bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes.

---

Divide into oven-proof bowls.

---

Float the stale bread on top.

---

Cover with the cheese and broil until the cheese bubbles and browns.
