My French Onion Soup

Perfect for a cold, cozy night. This soup will warm you right up, plus it is delish!

2 tbs butter
2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 cups beef broth
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups good quality croutons
4 deli slices Swiss, Havarti, or Jarlsberg cheese

Melt butter in a large, heavy, oven safe dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and stir to coat with butter. Cover and allow to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once onions are soft and brown, add wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in broths, Worcestershire, and add salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to broil.

Once soup has simmered, add croutons to top of soup and cover with the cheese. Place the pot in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and it has begun to brown.

YUM!
