Original French Onion Soup

For the Original French Onion Soup, first cut the onions into rings. Put the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onions for 15 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown.

Then sprinkle flour over them and let them brown as well. Add the clear soup, simmer for 15 minutes and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. If you like, you can add Madeira at the end of the cooking time.

To make the soup more creamy, add egg yolks: To do this, pour a ladle of soup into a large enough bowl and stir the yolks into the liquid, which is no longer boiling.

Then pour this mixture into the soup, which is no longer boiling (if the soup boils, the egg yolks would curdle).

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees and toast the slices of white bread until they are lightly browned. Pour the soup into preheated soup bowls and sprinkle the toasted bread slices on top and the grated cheese on top.

Bake in the oven until golden brown and bring the Original French Onion Soup to the table on the spot.
