Emily posted this recipe for French Onion Soup from The Tower Magic
Restaurant and Bar in SNowmass at Aspen. The restaurant was owned by
John Denver, I can tell you this is a delicious soup on a cold winter
night.

We used a large crock pot to simmer the soup.

Recipe from Michael P. Shore
The Tower Restaurant
Aspen, Colorado

The Tower's Homemade French Onion Soup

One dozen sliced onions
3 tsp. butter or margarine
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. Worchestershire

Sautee the above ingredients in a heavy saucepan, slowly, until the
onions are golden brown. Add 2 quarts of beef stock or consummee to
the onion mixture. Simmer on low heat for six hours, then add 1/4 cup
white wine.

Serve with croutons and top with Monterey Jack or Grated Parmesan
cheese.

GOOD!

I'm wondering how many times this onion soup recipe is going to be posted. It
seems to appear once a day. OK OK I'll make the soup! Just please stop
posting it!

Is this restaurant still open and, if so, was it still owed by John at the time
of his death?

Yes "tsp" means teaspoon -- I have eaten at the Tower Restaurant many
time while skiing in Snowmass. It is one of my favorite places. They
have a great comedian at the bar.
The onion soup sounds great. I am going to try it soon.

Its in Snowmass Village. Its a shopping mall with about 3 levels
(if I remember accurately) and the restaurant is on the top level.
