French Onion Soup

This may sound crazy but my husband and I really don't like onions. However, we love this soup!

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, sliced 1/4-inch into half circles
1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups Beef Broth (I really love Swanson Beef Broth, it comes in a box)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 Loaf french bread
Sliced Swiss cheese

In a large dutch oven pot, melt butter
Add onions
Cook on medium heat until onions become soft
Stir the onions just to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pan
Sprinkle flour over onions and stir to coat
Add beef broth
Season to taste with salt and pepper
Simmer and heat through around 10 minutes

Meanwhile:
Cut bread into slices
Toast under the broiler
When both sides are toasted top with a slice of Swiss cheese
Put back under broiler to melt cheese

When soup is done serve in bowls with bread and melted cheese on top
