TOTAL TIME:1 HOUR 25 MINUTES
YIELD: 10 CUPS

A whiskey twist makes this French Onion Soup inspired recipe Irish!

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 cups chopped onions
• 1/4 cup salted butter
• 1 1/2 tbsps minced garlic
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 cup whiskey
• 8 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tsps thyme
• 1-2 dashes Worchestershire sauce
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Better Than Boullion Beef Base

TOPPING

• French baguette
• Mozzarella cheese (I used herb and garlic mozzarella and it was super yummy)

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large pot, over medium-high heat (if you want specifics I cooked on a 6-7) add the butter and onions, stir. Brown the onions for 30-40 minutes, stirring often. If you find that the onions are sticking too much to the bottom, add more butter or a splash or two of the beef broth.
2. Add the garlic and flour and stir for roughly a minute.
3. Now the fun part, add the whiskey and scrape the bottom of the pan. Get all the bits and simmer the alcohol down for 8-10 minutes, over medium height.
4. Next add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, and pepper. Taste and if it's not rich add a heaping spoonful of beef bouillon (I used Better Than Boullion - get it at Costco or Amazon).
5. Simmer over medium heat for 35 minutes.
