Onion Soup

French Onion Soup is probably one of my favorite soup out there.  I still remember the best one I've ever had was at this random restaurant in Paris.  Well, I've been craving onion soup for the longest time but it's just so pricey to go out and buy a bowl of soup at a restaurant.  I decided to make some today with what ingredients I have at home - so this is not an authentic French Onion Soup but still good :)

Ingredients:

1.5 jumbo yellow onions - sliced

2-3 Tbsp of olive oil

1 Tsp sugar

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1 Tbsp dried thyme

1 bay leave

1/4 cup red wine

1 carton of beef broth

bread

grated cheese

In a pot, add olive oil and sugar over med heat. Add onion and let it simmer for about 15 min (stir occasionally).  Add mustard, seasoning, wine and beef broth.  Turn heat down to med-low and let the soup simmer for about 30 min.  Dish out the soup into oven-safe bowls,  add bread on top and sprinkle cheese on top (I only had tex mex mix).  Bake in oven for about 10-15min at 400F - until cheese is bubbling.
