French Onion Soup To Die For
"This is authentic "French" onion soup. It is not difficult to make and the hands on process is only toward the end of the recipe. The onions do require a lot of time in the oven to caramelize. But it is well worth it...."
INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
