Beef Short Rib French Onion Soup
Though I love French onion soup, this twist with beef short ribs adds great beef flavor and is a bit more hearty! The crocks are something else to purchase, but at $30 for a set of four which are microwave-, oven-, and dishwasher-safe, and handy for all sorts of things, they are worth it.

Directions
Cook's Note:
You can certainly make the soup without short ribs if you like, or substitute beef cubes (like the ones you get for stew) in place of the short ribs if they are expensive or hard to find near you. You can also make this in a slow cooker by browning the meat and caramelizing the onions and adding the flour and sherry as above and then refrigerate overnight. Add to slow cooker in the morning with the thyme and broth and meat according to the recipe, cooking on Low for 8 hours. Then ladle, top, and broil when you get home!
