This is the only onion soup recipe I know of that is baked in a casserole, making it easy to serve to a crowd as a fist course. I love this recipe for dinner parties because it can be made ahead. This rich soup can also be a meal in itself.

6 Servings
Prep: 30 min. + simmering Bake: 50 min.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds meaty beef soup bones
2 quarts water
1 medium carrot, quartered
4 black peppercorns
3 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
2 sprigs fresh parsley
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup butter
6 slices French bread (1/2 inch thick)
6 slices Swiss cheese

Directions

In a soup kettle, combine the first six ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3 hours. Strain the broth, discarding soup bones, carrot and seasoning; skim fat.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onions in butter over medium heat for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Divide the onions among six ovenproof bowls. Ladle about 1 cup broth onto each. Top each with a slice of bread and Swiss cheese. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.
