French Onion Soup

I think I stole this one from Peter Rideout at the Moscow Hotel

2 gallons water
12 onions
1 cup beef base
2 tsp white pepper
10 cloves garlic - peeled
8 oz Courvoisier

Croutons & Parmesan Cheese

Slice onions thin. Put in water with beef base, pepper and garlic and boil 40 to 60 minutes. Add Courvoisier.

Serve hot portions in cup or bowl with croutons and parmesan cheese, melting the cheese on top in the broiler, if possible.
