That French Onion soup looks great. I will have to give it a try soon. Like yourself, I love love love to cook and watch the Food Network religiously.
Here is an authentic Butter Chicken recipe that unlike some, has a nice spicy, but not too strong taste to it. The great thing about this, is that it is a one pot meal and actually pretty simple to make once you have all the ingredients!

1 large onion
2 cloves garlic

1 can crushed tomoatoes
whipping cream (500ml)
