French Onion Soup

In our first CSA box, we got this giant onion that I didn't know what to do with, so Anny suggested making French onion soup. This is the recipe that I used and it's very delicious. Instead of canned soup, I found this liquid concentrate at Henry's, and used 4 tubes w/ a total of 4.5 cups of water. The red wine was a 2-Buck Chuck shiraz from TJ's. I couldn't believe how easy it was to make and how great it tasted.

We only had a bowl each and lots left over, so I put the rest in the freezer to enjoy later. The one thing I'd do differently next time is to slice the bread thinner, about 1/2 inch. The 1-inch slice soaked up most of the broth in our soup bowls. Can't wait to have this again!
