Cheeseboard Onion Soup

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 30 Min

We took your ordinary French onion soup recipe and turned it into something extraordinary with this Cheeseboard Onion Soup. You see, we love cheese so much, that we had to include not one but three different kinds in this one that's sure to be a hit!

What You'll Need

3 tablespoons butter
3 large onions, thinly sliced
6 cups beef broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup dry red wine
6 (1-inch) slices French bread, toasted
1 pear, cut into wedges and sliced very thinly
6 slices mozzarella cheese
6 slices Swiss cheese

What to Do

In a soup pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden, stirring occasionally.
Add beef broth, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir in Parmesan cheese and wine, and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and soup is heated through.
Preheat broiler. Top each slice of bread with pear slices, a slice of mozzarella cheese, and a slice of Swiss cheese. (Stack the cheese slices crisscross.)
Place broiler safe soup crocks on a baking sheet. Pour soup into crocks and top each with a slice of pear-and-cheese-topped bread. Broil 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
