 French Onion Soup with Browned Garlic (Yum!)
  
 1 cup sherry or dry white wine
 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into circles
 8 to 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
 1 tablespoon whole wheat or unbleached white pastry flour
 4 cups veggie broth
 .5 teaspoon black pepper
 Salt or low sodium soy sauce to taste
 6 slices french bread, toasted
  
 In a large heavy stockpot, heat wine until bubbling.  Add
 the onions and reduce heat to medium.  Cook onions slowly,
 stirring frequently, for at least 20 minutes, until they become
 pastelike.  (If you cook the onions too quickly, they'll taste
 bitter).
  
 Add garlic and continue to cook 5 to 10 minutes until garlic
 begins to look brown.  Add flour, stir well, and cook 2 minutes. 
 Add stock and bring to a boil.
  
 Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.  Season with pepper and salt
 or soy sauce.  Ladle soup into bowla and float a slice of toasted
 bread on top of each.
