FRENCH ONION SOUP

-Thinly slice 3 large spanish onions
-mince 1 or 2 cloves of garlic
-saute both, over medium heat, in a very large pan with 4 T butter and 2 T vegetable/canola oil. Cook them until they get, you know, cooked, but not browned

Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat 6 C vegetable stock. (do as much as 8 C if you want lots of soup).
-Add the cooked onion and
-Quarter cup tamari
-Quarter cup white wine
-Half tsp thyme
-dash pepper

Cook on stove for 1 hr, tightly covered, on medium heat

In serving bowls, place a slice of baguette each. Ladle soup on top, and then sprinkle grated cheese. Gruyere is traditional, but I think cheddar works quite well. Ideally it is broiled, if you have bowls that can do that, but if you drop the cheese on boiling-hot soup that will certainly do.

YUM.
