The Best Thing I Ate Today - 12/8

The best thing I ate today was my homemade French Onion soup.  I had never made this before and was delighted with the outcome.  I was able to achieve the rich, complex onion-beef flavor in just 2 hours of cooking.  I topped it with some french bread croutons and a REASONABLE amount (i.e. not enough to cover the top of a small state such as Rhode Island) of bubbly Gruyere cheese.  Overall, a much healthier way to get that French Onion it without sacrificing too much.
