I made what passes in my house for french onion soup (I follow Alton Brown’s recipe, replace the apple cider with another can of canned beef consomme) and it produces more than a human should eat in a sitting.

I made my soup fresh yesterday, had me a bowl or two, meanwhile the rest stayed on to simmer, and it reduced some more. The leftovers spent the night in the fridge, and I went to cut myself just a slice of the cheese as a snack, but I decided what the heck and fixed myself a whole bowl of soup, and you know it was better today. I think the extra time to reduce helps it out a lot. Doesn’t make the crouton nearly as soggy.

I used my toaster oven to melt the cheese. Took more time than the oven but my oven’s broiler can go from underdone to burned in a second, the toaster gave me some room.

Served with the same wine I made the soup out of. I’ve certainly eaten worse meals.
