french onion soup


















  • 3 yellow onions - sliced
  • 1 red onion - diced
  • 6 garlic cloves - diced coarsely
  • 3 celery stalks - chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2-3 hours of your life

cook the onions and celery in olive oil until golden. add 3 cups of water, vinegar and garlic to the pot. add salt and pepper to taste and let this cook for 2-3 hours (or longer if you are patient). after 3 hours if it tastes like onion water and not french onion soup, you haven't seasoned it correctly (at this point you can go buy a can of campbell's soup because the final step can be followed using that as an alternative). add some toasted sour dough bread and melt your favorite cheese.
