Three Onion Soup image

This recipe was originally given to me by a French housewife on the Island of Crete in Greece many years ago. Over the years I have adapted/perfected it to fit my guests and my tastes. It is a hearty soup and can be used as a first course or a complete dinner on a cool fall or winter night.

I was a bit skeptical about this soup at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The onions were so caramelized and the broth was so flavorful. I added a few croutons and some grated Parmesan cheese to the top, and it was perfect.
