French Onion Soup

Years ago, I decided I hated cooking up a big meal for extended family on Christmas Eve. That's when I began our French Onion Soup tradition. I serve this every Christmas Eve and everyone brings appetizers and sweets. I make this several days ahead and serve it again on New Year's. I serve up to 30 people with this whopper recipe, but you can cut it in half or fourths for less people. French Onion Soup for 30! 10 large yellow onions sliced. 1/4 cup sugar 2 Tbs. Dijon mustard 3-4 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce 5  32-oz. cartons beef broth Provolone cheese discs Garlic or onion flavored croutons Start by peeling the onions. Cut them into fourths... And slice in a food processor. For years, I sliced these by hand and CRIED A LOT!!! If you must slice them by hand, place a cutting board in your sink and slice onions under cold running water to cut down on crying. Do this in batches. While you're slicing the onions, have a stick of butter melting in a large stock pot over medium heat....
