This is a recipe that a friend gave me that I've modified slightly. It is excellent! In fact, my onions are cooking right now for a big batch. Notice my serving instructions for a quick easy way without having to put the soup bowls under the broiler. Enjoy!
12 medium onions (I'm using Vidalia which are huge so am only using 5.)
1/4 Butter
16 cups beef boullion or broth (I buy the kind that comes in the box with a pour spout on top.)
1+ Tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp Tabasco Sauce
2+ Tbs. Kitchen Bouquet (More seems to be better.)
1-1/2 cups dry, white wine (I've also made this with a dry red wine and that's good too. I just didn't use as much.)
Salt & Pepper to taste.
1 loaf French bread, cubed into 1" cubes
Sliced Swiss Cheese
Slice onions very thin and saute`in the butter in a large pot for 1 hour or until golden. Add remaining ingredients; bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer 2 to 4 hours. Onions should be very tender.
When nearly done, put the French bread cubes on a cookie sheet and toast in the oven for a few minutes.
Serving Camper Style: Put some bread cubes in the bottom of the soup bowl and top with 1 slice Swiss cheese. Ladle hot soup over all. No need to put under the broiler to melt the cheese.

Turkey Soup
These are basic instructions for how I make my turkey soup when we need a 'comfort food'. Really hits the spot on a cold day - especially when you're not in the mood for something 'spicy'. I usually have the carcase from a 20 lb bird. These instructions and ingredients are based on that size. I use an 8 qt. pot with lid.
Simmer turkey carcase slowly over several hours with onion, beef boullion (I use about 6 cubes), salt, pepper, and enough water to cover. You may have to break the carcase up to get it all to fit in your big pot and still be covered with water. (I use an 8 qt. pot because I usually have a carcase from a 20 lb bird.)
Strain broth.
Add:
1 chopped onion
3 or 4 sliced carrots
1 to 2 cups of brown rice
Salt & pepper.
Simmer for a couple more hours.
Add meat picked off turkey carcase (add extra turkey if there's not much meat on the carcass).
Add enough half & half to make the soup look creamy.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer a few more minutes and serve.
