All this talk of onion soup had me salivating so I threw some together. Topped with some homemade baguette toasts and cheese. Finished with a sprinkling of fresh red onion. I have some fancy bowls in a box in the garage but these generic bowls worked fine. Probably not the best example of a French Onion soup but I'm in the States so I'll just call it Oregon Onion soup. It was good and that's what really matters.
I used about 5 onions for these two bowls and caramelized them until they were almost nothing. It was a little rich and a cup would have been just the right amount. A bowl was a little too much.
