French Onion Soup image

Based on a recipe from Jeff Smith's cookbook, The Frugal Gourmet. He recommends using his recipe #232694, Basic Brown Soup Stock, in order to avoid the "salty flavor you find in restaurant soups." I often use low-sodium canned beef stock when I'm pressed for time. This recipe is a guide for a single serving, so adjust ingredient quantities accordingly.
