French Onion Soup recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 8 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Baguette slices, toasted
- Gruyère or Swiss cheese, grated
Instructions
1. In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and caramelized. This may take about 30-40 minutes.
2. Sprinkle sugar over the onions and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to enhance caramelization.
3. Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. If using, pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
5. Add beef broth, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Preheat the oven broiler.
7. Discard the bay leaves from the soup. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls.
8. Place toasted baguette slices on top of the soup in each bowl.
9. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese over the bread.
10. Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
11. Carefully remove the bowls from the oven (they will be hot!), and let them cool for a minute before serving.
