Lara's French Onion Soup

Ingredients:

• Olive oil
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 4 onions, sliced thin
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 tbsp flour
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1-2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
• 1-2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
• Cracked black pepper
• Salt, if needed, broth is usually salty enough

Directions:

• Add the butter in your dutch oven over medium-low and wait until hot, add onions and spray with Duck Fat Cooking Spray. You want to cook these slowly so they don’t burn and become caramelized instead. This should take about 20 minutes.
• Add the flour and stir to coat the onions. Add the wine and let cook down. Add the beef stock, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Let cook 45 minutes on low.
• To serve, I top with shaved asiago cheese because it doesn’t make like a lump of cheese that you have to bite through. Throw in some croutons to soften in the broth or dip with fresh bread.
