KABillyMac We love soup in this family so I'll try your's first!
I intend to try them ALL-YUM they sound so good.

Onion Soup

4TBS butter
2TBS olive oil
2lbs onion thinly sliced-apx 7-8 cups
salt & pepper
fresh mushroms (small package) thinly sliced
3TBS flour
****5 cans of SWANSON onion flavored broth**** USE SWANSONS THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT
1/2-1 cup thinly sliced green onions
salad croutons-any brand labeled "seasoned"
Block Swiss Cheese

If you have a large enough pan, you don't have to transfer.
In an electric skillet (for the size) melt oil and butter. Cook onions and mushrooms until soft, don't go for the golden brown color just very light brown -salt and pepper lightly (broth adds salt). Cook off the liquid from the mushrooms. Add the flour and stir it into the mixture till absorbed. Transfer to your large pot and add the cans of broth and the green onions. Cook gently for 30 min.

PREHEAT OVEN 375

your choice-one big soup bowl family or individual bowls-enteraining.
In individual bowls(on a cookie sheet) put 6-10 crotons. Add soup making sure everyone get the onion/mushroom mix. Sprinkle with shreded Swiss and put in oven 10-20 min. JUST WATCH THE CHEESE. 10 is usually enough.
The best recipe books in the world are USUALLY Jr. League. For those who like a little spice I will mention 3 from La. Talk About Good, Pirates's Pantry, and River Roads.
