My wife used to make this dynamite French onion soup. After our divorce, I asked her for the recipe. I was new to sobriety and the directions called for a good amount of wine. I passed. She did make the best French onion soup I've ever had. I still miss it. But I can live without it. I know that cooking with wine is supposed to evaporate the alcohol, but as a matter of principle, even after all these years, I still don't go there.
