UNCLE JIM'S FRENCH ONION SOUP

5 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp oil
1/2 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp flour
2 quarts beef boullion
1/2 cup dry white wine

Cook onions SLOWLY for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add sugar and salt.  Increase heat to medium.

Cook onions, stirring constantly, for 30-45 minutes, until onions are golden brown.  Add flour and stir constantly for 3-4 minutes.  Add boullion and wine.  Lower the heat and simmer for an hour.

Into each of six soup bowls, place soup,  Top with 1 Tbsp grated mozzarella and 1 tsp grated onion.  Stir.  Float a round of dry French bread or croutons on top of the soup. 

Take a pound of mozzarella cheese and cut into six equal chunks.  Grate each chunk on top of the soup bowls. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is nicely browned.  Broil if necessary to brown.  Enjoy!
