French Onion Soup Recipe.....

There used to be a restaurant in Childwold , NY called Dumas's, which is currently The Thirsty moose.

It was and still is a popular snowmobiling destination.

The Dumas family ran it for years and it had awesome homestyle cooking.

When we'd go there when Dumas's still ran it I would always order the French Onion Soup-it was awesome. And I'd ask for the recipe and the chef, would laugh and shake his head and say, "Nope!"  

Alas, I couldn't make it at home.

A couple of weeks ago one of my co-workers at school, (who will remain nameless to protect the innocent) who used to be a waitress there told me before they sold to the new owners, she'd nabbed the recipe.

Ha! I can make it home. It's fairly straight forward, but I think what gives it distinct flavor is the Lambrusco-makes it sweet. 

I made it last night and it's very good-No pics because I was lazy. 

I want to get this down in case I lose the precious piece of paper the recipe is on.

So here it is, Dumas's French Onion Soup recipe as written verbatim.

2 large yellow onion

1 large red onion

3 pats butter

cracked pepper (lots of it)

1/8 cup Olive oil

Sizzle down

1/2 cup lambrusco

1 tsp. soy sauce

1 tsp. worcestshire sauce

8 cups water

1 tb. gravy master

2 tb. beef base.

Try it, you'll love it!

And if you're in the area, give the Thirsty Moose, their food is pretty darn good too!
