Condensed French Onion Soup

Today when Kathleen and I left Chapel. we realized we were pretty hungry! I needed a condensed French onion soup recipe for the beef tips I wanted to make so we just doubled this recipe and had some to eat! The cheese powder really does add to it!

Condensed French Onion Soup

1 small onion(about 1/2 cup chopped)
1 TB olive oil
1 TB Molasses

2 beef bullion cubes
3/4 cup boiling water

2 TB cornstarch
1/4 cup COLD water

Dissolve bullion cubes in boiling water
Add broth to onions

In a medium sauce pan heat oil and molasses over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and sticky.

Dissolve cornstarch in cold water
Add to onion mixture

Season with salt and pepper to taste

Recommended 1 TB dried cheddar cheese powder if available! (this is an ingredient in the store version, but IMO it does not really make or break the soup, it does, however, give it a certain "something")

Bring it all to a boil and stir until thickened.
