ONION SOUP WITH GRUYERE AND MADEIRA



Onion Soup With Gruyere and Madeira image

This was made on tv and I made several changes to it because I found there was too much liquid compared to the onions when I followed the recipe. Do not leave out making and using the liason of egg yolks, cream, brandy and Madeira, it makes the soup more special, also very rich! For the madeira you could substitute, dry Port or Sherry.
