French Onion Soup

• 2 cups dry white wine
• 3 ounces all-purpose flour
• 10 pounds peeled Spanish onions, sliced into halves first and then into 1/2-inch-thick slices
• Ground black pepper
• Salt
• Knorr bouillon cubes(optional)
• 4 slices Imported Swiss cheese
• 4 slices American Muenster cheese
• 8 very dry slices of baguette (dried overnight or toasted)

1. Cook the sliced onions slowly, over very low heat until they have rendered all water and are brown and thick
2. Spread the flour over the onions and mix well to avoid lumps
3. Add the wine and bring to a boil
4. Add 2 quarts of beef stock (or water), bring to a boil and add salt and pepper to taste (the bouillon cube can be added at this point if you use water. However, just water makes it a delectable vegetarian onion soup)
5. Fill the onion soup bowls, put 2 croutons floating in each bowl and place Swiss cheese first then the Muenster
6. Gratine the soup and serve hot
