There are many great French Onion Soup recipes to be found online. My three favorite recipe sites are foodnetwork.com, allrecipes.com, and food.com. What I usually do is go on those sites, type in what I’m looking for in the search bar, and then you can sort by ratings.
Usually on any of those sites you can find recipes with up to 1,000 reviews or more. If a recipe has that many reviews and it’s rated four and a half or five stars, you are pretty much guaranteed it’s a great recipe and you don’t have to worry about spending a bunch of time on something that doesn’t turn out so hot. It’s also very helpful to read some of the reviews because often they will give some helpful hints about how to make the recipe more successful.
These tips aren’t always listed or clarified in the recipe itself so these can be of real help.

As the onions reach a dark brown color, pull out your stock. The most ideal stock to use would be homemade beef stock, but I just had storebought beef broth. You can also use chicken, veal, or vegetable broth.
Pour in the broth and turn the heat up a little so the soup comes to a boil. Turn the heat down again and let it simmer for at least half an hour — longer, ideally! Simmer until the soup has reduced a bit and is shiny and glazed over the onions.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately! • This is just a base recipe for onion soup. You can add many other things.
I like to add a corner of star anise or a cinnamon stick with the broth, and let those spices flavor the soup. You can also add a little garlic with the onions, or rosemary. You can add wine or brandy with the broth for increased depth of flavor too.
But just plain onions, salt, pepper, and broth will still give you a sublime soup, if you cook it long enough. • If you have oven-safe bowls or mugs, you can fill each with soup, then top with a slice of bread. Sprinkle on Gruyere or Parmesan cheese, and run under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasty.
Dunk the bread into the soup as you eat.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
