I just wanted to post a recipe!

I really didn't want to have a blog.  I was looking for a way to post my French Onion Soup recipe on Pinterest.  Am I missing something?  Must you have a blog for anything to get connected to on Pinterest?  I'm sure there is a tutorial online somewhere but like most teachers I skipped that part and went right to the good stuff!  Speaking of the good stuff, where are all the Fall Pumpkin recipes?  I must be having a Pinterest challenging day because for some reason it's not working for me today.
 

4 lbs white onions (White NOT THEM DAMN VIDAILA things unless you want flavorless mush)
½ stick of butter
Handful of All purpose flour

Dab of Lea and Perins Worcestershire sauce stuff
2 beef bullion cubes
2 boxes K-Roger Beef Broth (Low Sodium)
Red wine, cooking wine, or Brandy
Crispy English Muffins
Provolone Cheese

I use the 2 skillet method
Skillet one,
¼ stick of butter plus 1 tablespoon
All the onions but 1 cut in half rings dumped over butter
Turn the heat on Medium to Medium High and let onions sit and sweat over heat

Skillet Two
You have to baby sit this one real close
Turn heat on throw in rest of butter, 1 onion diced in small pieces, small handful of flour, start stirring over heat. Object is to cook onion and flour and butter into a paste (roux). As paste starts to thicken slowly add some beef broth ½ cup at a time and continue to stir. Continue adding broth a little at a time FOREVER…be careful not to let it get to dried out or you’re going to have to start over.

BACK to Skillet One…
Onions should be getting soft…add cooking wine and Lea and Perins stuff…and let simmer… In large soup pot add 1 and ½ boxes of beef broth and dump all of skillet one in also. Do not turn on heat yet
 
.Back to skillet Two

 Keep adding Broth until you have about ½ a box and a good gravy in the skillet. Turn down heat and slowly add mixture to broth and onions in soup pot…Add about ½ a ladle at a time mixing it into broth mixture. Once it is all added and stirred together turn heat on under soup pot and let simmer about an hour.

When ready to serve- toast opened English Muffins with Provolone cheese on top…then serve these floating in bowl of soup.
