The Paris Family Onion Soup
3 Onions Thinly Sliced
1 Stick of Butter
4 cups of Chicken Broth
4 cups of Beef Broth
1 cup of Red Wine or Sherry Wine
3 tsp flour
S & P to taste
Melt the butter in a large deep sided soup pan and add the onions.
Cook until the onions are soft. I think about 15 minutes. Stir in the Flour and stir frequently.
Stir in the broth and wine and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Toast Bread slices and add your favorite cheese. You can broil the cheese so it melts but I have been using the microwave. It depends how hungry you are.

7 Basic Steps
I recommend preparing all your ingredients first
Large pot on medium heat Add the Oil, Shallots. Leeks, Onions, and Cook slowly stirring frequently
Add the rice and wine and keep stirring constantly to coat the rice with the oils and liquid from the onions and
Stir in the mushrooms (which have been chopped) and I cup of the mushroom liquid you saved. Save the rest in case you need more.
When everything is mixed add 2 cups of chicken broth and some salt if needed. When all the liquid has been absorbed by the rice ladle in another cup of broth, again stirring. Keep adding chicken broth one cup at a time until rice is nearly done but not fully aldente
In a separate pan, add some EVOO and heat the oil. Add the sausage and sauté until it is 12 cooked. Then add to the rice for another 5 to 10 minutes
Finish the risotto, Taste risotto to see if aldente and creamy.
Remove as soon as ready and serve by adding Parmigiano Cheese and Butter
And even some parsley if you would like
