    SOUPER bowl for the SUPER BOWL! Wonderful, rich flavor. A bit time consuming but not difficult, and definitely well worth the effort.

    A. Brown has TWO listing for French onion soup. This one has the video, the other has the instructions written. both use the same ingredients.
    I had trouble getting the onions to brown and reduce in my electric skillet at 250 degrees, had to go to 350.
    Other than that it was great!

    Directions: Trim the ends off each onion then slice from end to end. Remove peel and finely slice into half moon shapes. Set electric skillet to 300 degrees and add butter. Once butter has melted add a layer of onions and sprinkle with a little salt. Repeat layering onions and salt until all onions are in the skillet. Do not try stirring until onions have sweated down for 15 to 20 minutes. After that, stir occasionally until onions are dark mahogany and reduced to approximately 2 cups. This should take 45 minutes to 1 hour. Do not worry about burning. Add enough wine to cover the onions and turn heat to high, reducing the wine to a syrup consistency. Add consume, chicken broth, apple cider and bouquet garni. Reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes.

    I made this recipe right after Thanksgiving, when I had a load of onions and some leftover beer (from beercan turkey so I substituted that for the white wine. Turned out quite robust, sort of a "German-onion soup" more than French onion, but quite tasty!

    @Mateo78 I am talking to you, just so you don't have to wonder. A recipe consists of two things: an ingredient list, and instructions. Not so ridiculous to point out that one of the two are missing. Maybe you are a master chef, but everyone has to start somewhere. I think we have all done something as stupid as burn noodles in the beginning, so you will forgive someone who is concerned about caramelizing onions. No need to bully someone who isn't as advanced as yourself.
