Swedish Onion Soup


It doesn't make any sense...you use Swedish onions, yet the "infamous they" call it French Onion Soup. Seeing how my husband is a good middle-aged American Swedish country boy, we call it Swedish Onion Soup.


3 large Swedish onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 tbsp butter or margarine
32 oz beef broth
1 cup merlot wine
1 pkg. onion soup mix
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded Asiago cheese
2 slices Swiss cheese
2 large slices of French Baguette, cut on an angle and toasted


Peel and thinly slice onions; sauté with garlic in butter or margarine, over medium high heat for about 15 minutes, until they start to brown. Add beef broth, wine, soup mix, Dijon mustard and simmer 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture into crocks and top with baguette slices. Sprinkle shredded cheese and top with slices of Swiss cheese. Place crocks on baking sheet and broil 1-2 minutes just until cheese has browned. YUM!
