I really don't like to cook much in the summer and I am awful on the barbeque so I love when the weather starts to get chilly and I am happily drawn back into the kitchen. I love Fench Onion soup and have tried many times to make it at home and until I came across this recipe at Everyday Italian, all had fallen short of what I had hoped it would be. This is so easy and can be ready in 34 minutes.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
4 cups beef broth
4 slices ciabatta bread, cubed
4 ounces sliced fontina cheese
Special equipment: 4 (1 1/2-cup) ovenproof ramekins
Directions
In a medium, heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the thyme and broth. Simmer, uncovered, until the onions are soft, about 15 minutes.
Divide the soup between the 4 ovenproof ramekins. Divide the cubed bread among the ramekins. Top each with slices of fontina cheese. Place under the broiler, until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
(I don't own ramekins so I use either very large oversized coffe mugs, great to use if you're not going to be sitting at a table or regular soup bowls. I have also used the pre-grated 3 cheese Italian combo as a subsitute for the suggested cheese. It melts without needing to go into the broiler)
