Baked French Onion Soup (Applebee's)

Baked French Onion Soup (Applebee's)

Baked French Onion Soup (Applebee's)

You must have some oven-safe soup bowls for this one, since we'll have to boil it a bit before serving.

Ingredient - Preparation Method	Amount	Measure
ground black pepper garlic powder water teaspoons salt vegetable oil hamburger buns medium white onions, sliced beef broth (Swanson is best) shredded parmesan cheese provolone cheese	1/4 1/2 1 2,5 3 5 6 8 10 10	teaspoon teaspoon cup teaspoons tablespoons plain cups teaspoons slices

1. Add 3 tablespoons oil to a large soup pot or saucepan ver medium/high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 20 minutes until the onions begin to soften and start to become translucent. You don't want them to brown.
2. Add the beef broth, water, salt, garlic powder and black pepper to the pan and bring mixture to a boil. When soup begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
3. To make the croutons cut off the top half of each top of the hamburger bun so that the bread is the same thickness as the bottom half of each bun. Throw the tops away. Now you should have 10 round pieces of bread -- 5 bottom buns, and 5 top buns with the tops cut off. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the bread in the the oven directly on the rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until each piece is golden brown and crispy. Set these croutons aside until you need them.
4. When the soup is done, spoon about 1 cup into an oven-safe bowl. Float a crouton on top of the soup, then place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the crouton. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the provolone.
5. Place the bowl into your oven set to high broil. Broil the soup for 5 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown (you may need to broil longer if you are making more than one bowl at a time). Sprinkle an additional 1/2 teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the top of the soup and serve. Repeat process to prepare remaining servings.Makes 10 servings.
