Directions
1 For a richer soup, you may add 4T butter and use regular cheese in hot soup.In a large non stick skillet saute half the onions until they are a deep brown but not burned. The trick is to cook them until they are well browned and tender yet still have a little firmness. Add a little water at a time to keep onions from sticking. If you have chosen to use butter then you can saute the onions in butter. Repeat with remaining onions. In a 3-4 qt pot place all the sauteed onions the garlic & water. Bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer covered about 20 min or until soup broth is quite flavorful. Turn burner to lowest heat. Add Soy Sauce and Consomme. Add a little more water if desired. Serve hot topped with cheese & croutons or French bread.
