Does anyone have a good recipe that would use up a bunch of yellow onions? The easier the better! Laughing

I've made this one, and we both liked it. Very Happy

ONION SOUP

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 pounds onions, sliced thin
3 cans (14½ ounce each) beef broth
½ cup dry red wine
1 1/3 cups seasoned croutons

4 thin slices Swiss cheese
4 Tbsps grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
Add onions; cook until deep brown, stirring frequently (20-25 minutes).
Add broth and wine -
boil until soup is slightly reduced and flavors blend (10-15 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 500°F.
Put 4 deep ovenproof bowls on baking sheet.
Add 1/3 cup croutons to each bowl.

Ladle soup over croutons and top with cheeses.
Bake soup until heated through and cheeses melt, (8-10 minutes).

Serves 4

This is exactly the recipe I need. Hubby Finally eats onions. I don't know how this great change came about but I'm going with it. Cool
