Cream of Onion Soup

This is fast and easy to make. One of my favorite meals for lunch. I made this up one day when I was hungry and only had onions and milk in the fridge.

1 Large White Onion
1/2 cup milk/soy milk
Beef stock/vegetable stock/bouillon
1/2 Tbsp Corn starch or Rice Flour
Pepper, Salt, Basil/pesto
Oil
White wine (optional)
Hard French bread
Cheese (Swiss, Gouda or Romano work well)


1.) Dice the onion
2.) In a frying pan heat about a table spoon of oil.
3.) Add Onions, pepper, salt, and basil or pesto
4.) Fry the Onions on medium heat until they start to caramelize.
5.) Turn the heat to low and add a little stock/bouillon to the onions.
6.) Add White wine and simmer a bit.
7.) Add milk (heating it up in the microwave a bit before hand will help the soup cook faster)
8.) Add corn starch a little at a time and stir soup until it thickens.
9.) Pour soup into an oven safe bowl or ramakin.
10.) Drop Chunks of hard French bread into bowl.
11.) Cover Bread and soup with cheese. slices are fine, so is shredded.
12.) Bake a little bit until cheese is melted and turning brown.
13.) Let cool and then eat.

I know it sounds like a lot, but the whole process takes about 30 min. at the most, and this soup is delicious and pretty impressive looking too.
