Author Notes
This recipe got right here about exactly 33 years previously–my husband turned into as soon as enthusiastic by opening a restaurant in Manchester, VT and turned into as soon as asked if I’ll per chance well well be willing to post a recipe for the menu. Soupe a l’oignon turned into as soon as immediate so I impartial appropriate assign about doing one thing utterly different–eliminated the crouton and Gruyere, replaced the crimson meat broth with hen after which determined that cream (yes, heavy cream) would possibly per chance well well be the neatly off and silky methodology to switch! The recipe below is what turned into as soon as on the menu at “Cobblestones” but this day I tend to expend gentle cream or even half & half. It be no longer rather as delicious but we constantly appear to attain it with out a disaster! The grated cheese is non-major and we tend to “employ” this soup with a genuine, crusty baguette, green salad, a triple creme cheese and some crimson grapes…and, for certain, a good crisp white wine! —Veronica
