"I won't kid you...this is not the time-consuming, tried and true method for preparing this French classic. However, it is great in a pinch, and will fool your guests into thinking you spent much longer in the kitchen than you did!"

WOW. Delicious. Attempted something else gluten free, had already sautéed the onions and did not want to waste them. Googled quick onion soup and it landed me here. I used gf spreadable beef bouillon, water, a small dash each of black pepper, oregano and Lowrey's garlic salt and the worchestershire sauce, bringing it to a quick boil. Meanwhile, in the toaster oven I placed a gf slice of bread (from the freezer), topped with a bit of mozzarella and jarlsberg to melt, and poured myself a bowl and added the bread/cheese "raft" - soooo delicious. This quick recipe rivals any slow cooked "proper" onion soup. Yum.

Jackie, this may not be time consuming and complicated, but it is better than any other French onion soup I've ever made! I had to make some changes based on what I had, but nothing major. I used 4 cups of water and 5 beef bouillon cubes as the base, and I added about 1/4 cup of white wine. I think the butter is the key! It was fabulous!

This was really simple and tasty. I made it as directed except that I halved the recipe. Thanks Jackie for a great comfort soup. Made for 123 Tag.

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
