From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan S. requested the recipe for an onion soup served at Eddie Martini's, 8612 W. Watertown Plank Road, Wauwatosa. She wrote: "My husband and I had their baked burgundy onion soup and fell in love with it. It is definitely a keeper." Jason Tofte, executive chef, sent the recipe. He said it's been on the restaurant's menu since it opened in 1995 and that it's a favorite with customers.

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • butter1⁄2 cup
  • large yellow onions, sliced in long half circles2
  • tomato paste1⁄4 cup
  • Burgundy wine3 cups
  • homemade chicken stock1 quart
  • black pepper1⁄2 teaspoon
  • salt
  • thinly sliced French bread, toasted6
  • shredded gruyere cheese1 1⁄2 cups

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. When butter starts to bubble, add onions and cook until very brown, at least 15 minutes. Add tomato paste and wine. Cook until only a trace of wine remains, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add stock and pepper, and then simmer 20 minutes. Add salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Preheat broiler.

  4. 4

    Divide soup between 6 warmed, ovenproof bowls. Top each portion with a slice of bread then cover with cheese, bringing it to the edges of the bowl to seal. There should be at least 3/8-inch head-space a top of the bowl so the soup does not bubble over.

  5. 5

    Set bowls on a cookie sheet with sides and put in broiler. Broil until cheese melts and becomes golde.
