Instructions to make Mike's French Onion Soup:

1. Add butter to a large pot. Slice onions thin and place in pot. Also, add your green onions, garlic, thyme, black pepper and bay leaf. Simmer onions for 25+ minutes until onions are limp and translucent. Stir regularly.
2. Add white wine and simmer 5 minutes longer to burn off alcohol. Pull bay leaf.
3. Dust onion mixture with your flour and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes to cook out any flavor of flour. Stir constantly. Add minimal amounts of butter to pot if your flour begins to seize up and is too difficult to stir. Or, if you feel it's in danger of burning.
4. Add your broth and 1/2 to 3/4 package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. I use 2/3's packet for the additional sodium & onion flavors. It really does balance the sweetness of the Vidalia Onions quite well. Simmer 10 minutes longer. Stir occasionally.
5. Here's your desired outcome.
6. Slice your Baguette Bread into 4 pieces. Cut more if you'd like to serve additional slices for dipping. Coat slices with garlic butter. Place in a 350° preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes - or, until baguettes are browned and crispy.
7. Ladle your hot soup into your Ramikins. Place Ramikins on a lifted edge cookie sheet. These can easily overflow. In fact, it's desired that they do! Just not today in my new oven.
8. Place 2 toasted garlic Crustinis in each of your your Ramikins.
9. Slice your Gruyère Cheese and place on top of your toasted Crustinis.
10. Turn on your ovens broiler.
11. Place Ramikins in oven for 5 minutes. Or, until your cheese is fully melted and browned.
12. Garnish with fresh parsley. Allow dish to sit for 3 minutes. Then serve. Enjoy!
