This Homemade French Onion Soup recipe has the flavors of a classic French onion soup that you would find at a restaurant, yet, it is easy to prepare in your home kitchen.
In a Dutch Oven or large soup pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat, and add garlic and onions. Stir until they are translucent (about 10 minutes).
Place your rack so that the top of the bowls will be several inches from the heat source so that the cheese doesn't burn (I do the 3rd rack down in my oven).
