Onion Soup

This soup is so easy to put together and it tastes good enough to serve to any special guest. Eat it as is or turn it into a French onion soup by adding croutons and topping with a fresh slice of mozzarella and brown under the broiler.

INGREDIENTS

2 onions, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons bacon drippings

6 cups good quality GF beef broth

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon old fashioned grainy mustard

Fresh ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Melt the bacon drippings in a large heavy bottomed pot and toss in the onions and garlic; cook until onions are softened and start to brown at the edges.

Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for one hour.

Remove bay leaves and ladle into bowls.

Enjoy!
