At the age of 17, my cousin had taken me to Manhasset, Long Island for lunch. But while he was driving, I couldn’t believe the sites of this RICH TOWN (lots of MONEY RICH). I was so used to seeing houses that were (to me) normal, in other words, SMALL!!!. But these were EXTREMELY LARGE…just by the looks of the town I knew that to LIVE there, you had to HAVE MONEY!!!!!!
When we got to the restaurant (LA CREPE, I think that’s how you spell it), I knew by looking at the cars in the lot…the people in the restaurant…the wait staff with white gloves on and they had French accents…I knew that we didn’t belong there.
My cousin ordered for me, and I wasn’t sure I would like the FRENCH ONION SOUP AND QUICHE LORRAINE. But it was unbelievable…the soup was in LARGE (almost like a bowl) dish, with tons of Swiss cheese melted on top…and it was so good that, to this day, no one comes close to their French Onion Soup.
Why don’t you try Rich and Simple French Onion Soup, and see for yourself how fantastic it is! It’s made with Vidalia onions, beef broth, dry sherry and thyme…check out the rest of ingredients that make this a soup that is worth every penny:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups sliced onions
4 (10.5 ounce) cans beef broth
2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices French bread
4 slices provolone cheese
2 slices Swiss cheese, diced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
It’s tasty and delicious… I’m sure you will enjoy it. I would also like the thank Lori Levin an All Recipes for this unbelievable soup. Be sure to check out All Recipes for the full instructions now. Enjoy!
