French Onion Soup

It's freezing cold outside and two of the boys have fevers. Seemed like a good day for some soup.

French Onion Soup recipes don't really vary all that much. This particular one uses Spanish onions and both chicken and beef stock.

The most difficult part was cutting all those onions. They caramelized nicely. I covered the individual bowls with toasted pieces of bread that I passed under the broiler with Swiss cheese rather than putting the bowls under the broiler.

The boys weren't excited about the soup but my husband and I both enjoyed it. I believe next time I'd use a recipe that didn't call for vinegar. I found the taste of the vinegar distracting though not overwhelming. I think I would have preferred the soup without it.

All in all, a nice dinner for a cold winter night.
