The holidays are a little different here in Japan. No oven for baking Christmas cookies or turkey. So, I have to improvise a little. One of the dishes I try to make every year is french onion soup. I will include the directions for baking it although I use the microwave to melt the cheese.
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. margarine or butter 3 large Spanish onions, peeled, sliced 1 can (14-1/2 oz.) beef broth 3 cups cold water 1 bay leaf 6 slices French bread, toasted 1 cup Shredded Swiss Cheese 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
MELT margarine in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions; cook about 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Add broth, water and bay leaf; stir. Cover; simmer 15 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. PREHEAT broiler. Ladle hot soup evenly into 6 ovenproof bowls; top each bowl of soup with a toast slice. Sprinkle evenly with cheeses.BROIL 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
