Three Onion Soup image

This recipe was originally given to me by a French housewife on the Island of Crete in Greece many years ago. Over the years I have adapted/perfected it to fit my guests and my tastes. It is a hearty soup and can be used as a first course or a complete dinner on a cool fall or winter night.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I really enjoyed this soup. The sweetness of the caramelized onions balanced out the sharpness of the broth.
