Total Time: 1 hr 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Recipe

• 2 add onion, cover and sweat for 10 minutes.
• 3 add sugar and molasses and stir well. cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
• 4 add flour and stir well to evenly distribute and avoid flour lumps, this will take a minute or two ( i add the flour a bit at a time to stop it from clumping).
• 5 add beef broth, wine (if using), worcestershire and pepper. cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
• 6 put a layer of cheese on a baguette slice for each bowl of soup you will be serving. bake in a 400°f oven until cheese has melted and starts to slightly brown.
