- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth

Method
Thinly slice onion and saute in melted butter in a large stock pot over medium heat for 10 minutes until soft and caramelized. Add broth and remaining ingredients, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until onions are very soft. Puree soup in blender in batches, then return to pot, heat through and serve with Parmesan cheese.
Notes: This is a lean version of the original, but just as tasty. Cooking the onions in a scant amount of butter until they caramelize imparts rich flavor--good enough to impress company.
Number of Servings: 4-6
