Bubba Don'T Eat This Onion Soup With Melted Mozzarella

• 1/4 cup butter
• 4 vidalia onions
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 leeks, white and light green sections only thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 (284 ml) cans condensed beef broth
• 2 (284 ml) cans water
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 2 buns, sliced, I use multi-grain
• 2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1. In a large saucepan, melt butter.
2. Chop one onion until fine. I generally use my mini-chopper. Cut the remaining onions in half, then slice.
3. Add garlic, leeks and all the onions and the salt to the melted butter. Saute until soft. This should take approximately 15 minutes.
4. Cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Add beef broth, water, pepper and tabasco sauce. Bring just to the boil.
6. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
7. At this point, you may continue with the recipe, or cool and store in the fridge. Great for single servings!
8. To serve:.
9. Preheat oven or toaster oven (good for single servings) to the broil setting.
10. Ladle soup into an oven proof bowl. Top with a slice of the toasted bun.
11. Spoon on a few of the onions and top with a 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
12. Broil until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown.
13. Enjoy!
