    Does anyone have a good recipe that would use up a bunch of yellow onions? The easier the better! :D

    I've made this one, and we both liked it. :-D

    ONION SOUP

    2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
    2 pounds onions, sliced thin
    3 cans (14½ ounce each) beef broth
    ½ cup dry red wine
    1 1/3 cups seasoned croutons

    4 thin slices Swiss cheese
    4 Tbsps grated Parmesan cheese

    Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
    Add onions; cook until deep brown, stirring frequently (20-25 minutes).
    Add broth and wine -
    boil until soup is slightly reduced and flavors blend (10-15 minutes).
    Season with salt and pepper.

    Meanwhile, preheat oven to 500°F.
    Put 4 deep ovenproof bowls on baking sheet.
    Add 1/3 cup croutons to each bowl.

    Ladle soup over croutons and top with cheeses.
    Bake soup until heated through and cheeses melt, (8-10 minutes).

    Serves 4
