"I came up with this recipe with ingredients I had on hand. It is a lot faster then the average onion soup as part of the prep cooking is done in the microwave. Another way to save time is to use a mandoline to slice your onions with. Enjoy!"

Loved it! I added a little blue cheese to the mozzarella just because I had it on hand. Delish.

This soup came together quickly and easily! A boon when you need a meal when life is hectic. I made the whole recipe. As I do not use a microwave, I sautéed the onions in the butter until they sweated out and started leaving a lovely fond on the bottom of the pan. I deglazed with a bit of beef broth and repeated this a couple of times to bring more flavour to the soup. When I make it next time, I will reduce the amount of beef & chicken broth by half to concentrate the flavour of the onions wee bit more. I know my visiting family will enjoy this soup as we did. Thank you for sharing! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
