CARAMELIZED ONION SOUP WITH SWISS CHEESE & BASIL CROUTONS
This delish recipe comes from Southern Living. The original recipe said it serves 8, but I think it serves 4-6. It's just DH and I, so I cut the recipe in half and use 2 large oven-safe soup mugs. The amount is perfect for dinner plus seconds! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Sauté onions and garlic in oil and butter in a large soup pot over medium heat until soft and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Add black pepper and thyme to onions. Cook 1 minute. Then add red wine, cook about 1 minute while stirring and scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add water and bouillon to pot. Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. (Double check to see if it needs any salt and pepper added to taste).
- In a bowl, combine cheese, basil, pepper and mayo. Spread over one side of each bread slice.
- Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each soup bowl with bread, cheese side up, making sure to cover entire soup surface with a layer of bread. (My soup mugs are quite large, so I use 2-3 baguette slices per serving).
- Broil 2-3 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and brown a bit.

CARAMELIZED ONION SOUP WITH BLUE CHEESE CROUTONS
Classic onion soup gets even better with caramelized onions, silky cream and zesty croutons for the finishing touch. It's worth the time it takes to cook the onions for the wonderful depth of flavor.

CARAMELIZED ONION SOUP
This version of the French classic is just right for a light lunch. Cook the onions slowly over a medium heat, so that the natural sugars caramelize for that wonderful rich flavour. Dont be tempted to caramelize them to quickly though, as they will burn, leaving you with a bitter tasting soup.
