COPYCAT TGI FRIDAY'S FRENCH ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender, about 20 minutes. Add the beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and heat on high heat while the onions are cooking. Add the onions to the crock pot and set the heat to low. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 3-5 hours or until the flavors have melded. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the baguette into thin slices and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F until toasted, turning once during the cooking time. Place the toasted bread slices (1-3 slices) in the bottom of individual soup crocks or bowls. Sprinkle the toasts with the cheese. Remove the bay leaves from the crock pot. Ladle the hot onion soup over the bread slices so the cheese melts. Serve hot.

T.G.I. FRIDAY'S FRENCH ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Slice the onions into rings and saute in butter in a skillet until tender.
• Turn crock pot on to low and put in the cans of beef broth, bay leaves, dash of garlic powder and salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and 3/4 cup of water. When the onions and butter mixture is tender, then also add them to the crock pot.
• Cover and cook for at least 3-5 hours on low. At this point you may want to taste the soup and see if you would like it a little weaker--if so add a little water or chicken broth. Also, at this time remove the bay leaves and discard them.
• When about ready to serve, slice bread into thin slices and toast in oven on 350°F or in toaster oven until just crusty. Put toasted slices (1-3) in bowl and cover with the cheese (adjust cheese to your liking). Then cover bread and cheese with hot soup. The cheese will melt and the bread will rise to the top.

FRENCH ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir and cover, letting onions soften for 5 minutes. Remove lid and let onions caramelize until golden brown over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Adjust heat if onions are browning too quickly. The caramelization process may take 45 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, warm broth in a saucepan over low heat.
• Once onions are caramelized, add wine and sherry to the pot and allow mixture to come to boil. Stir in flour and let thicken for a minute or two.
• Slowly add warm broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper to the onion mixture and boil uncovered for 10 minutes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the broiler, and arrange individual ovenproof casseroles on a baking sheet. Ladle soup into casseroles, and cover top with bread slices. Sprinkle each casserole generously with Gruyère. Broil for a minute or two, watching carefully, until cheese melts and browns. Serve immediately.
