Vacation Cook #4: French Onion Soup

[NCGrimbo]

Yep. The cooking hasn't stopped yet. I had originally planned this cook to be tied to BBQ via Vacation Cook #1, but due to that failure it was completely done in the oven and the stove. So, here's what I've got.

Onions halved and ready for cutting on the mandolin:

After 1 hour in the oven with the butter, salt, and olive oil:

After 2.5 hours in the oven and ready for deglazing:

Deglazed and with all the broth and spices added. Time to simmer:

And since I couldn't fine my soup bowls I bough many years ago for French onion soup, I went with a very large mug:

It was very delicious and you can find the recipe here.
