French Onion Soup
(0 ratings)Posted by:schocron
This is a winter favorite in our house. I make french bread dough in the bread machine and make individual bowls that I fill with soup topped with cheese and broil just before serving. I use whatever white, semi-hard kosher cheese I can find, and often use a mixture. It is not always easy to find kosher cheese, but I have never had any complaints nor has anyone missed the Gruyere cheese.
