French Onion soup

This is the perfect soup for fall. My son, Jared, who is soon to turn 12 has even developed an appreciation for it, although all the other kids hear the onion title and won't eat it. Oh well, it is completely their loss!

1 stick Butter
9 medium Onions,Sliced
8 cups Water
8 cubes Beef Bouillon
1/4 t Pepper
1/4 T Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 c Vermouth Or Dry White Wine
1/2 t Sugar
1 t Salt
1 T Flour
1/4 t Oregano
1/4 t Parsley


Slice onions. Add butter to pot, melt and simmer onions in butter
until semi-soft. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for at least 30
minutes. Toast French bread with garlic butter under the broiler. Pour soup into bowls.
Put in a dash of Parmesan cheese. Place bread in bowl. Top with 1
slice of swiss cheese, 1 slice of provolone cheese. Broil until cheese
is melted and bubbling.
