French Onion Soup

This has been a favorite soup of mine for the last 10 plus years. I love the sweetness the nutmeg adds. It's easy sweet, salty deliciousness. Check out all the other soups at TidyMom.

5 large onions, sliced
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
6 cups boiling water
12 cubes beef bouillon
salt and pepper to taste
nutmeg to taste
1/2 sup white wine
6 pieces dry french bread
6 whole slices Swiss cheese halved

1. Brown onions in butter until soft. Add 1 tablespoon sugar to brown faster.

2. Dissolve bouillon cubes in 1 cup water and add to onions. Add remaining 5 cups of water. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Add nutmeg. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Add wine, heat through.

3. Pour into individual soup bowls. Place a slice of French bread on top. Carefully place two slices of Swiss cheese on top of bread, overlapping the edges. Place bowls on a cookie sheet. Broil 4 inches from heat, until brown and bubbly.

I am sooooo hungry thinking (typing this recipe) about this soup!
