FRENCH ONION SOUP (BAREFOOT CONTESSA) INA GARTEN
My cousin Susan and I agree that most good cooks tend to make a recipe their own. For example, when Susan and I make Applesauce cake with the whiskey icing, I leave out the raisins while Susan opts for mixed dried fruit. When I get in from work, I don't want to even THINK about having to concoct some chef-worthy meal. I just want it to taste like one using the ingredients I have on hand...haha!! This soup is tasty and great for a cold and rainy weekend. Go for it! And while you're going for it remember to make it your own. Do you prefer provolone or mozzarella to parmesano reggiano? Want a few more spices like a touch of celery seed or a dash of garlic? Experiment! I'd love to hear how it comes out for you and what you did to make it "your own"! Now for my notes on this one: I can't find veal stock in the grocery store...well not that I looked for it. I dislike veal intensely so I double up on the beef stock instead. Also, experiment with the onions for flavor variations. Honestly, Vadalia's have a different taste from reds and yellows. For your first time, try to select onions that you would feel comfortable putting on your tuna fish sandwich. Something with a slight sweetness to it but a bit of tang as well.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan and saute the onions over medium high heat for about eight minutes or until they are lightly browned.
- Add stock, salt and pepper (if your stock is salted, do not add additional salt) and boil gently for about 15 minutes.
- In the meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
- Toast the baguette slices in the oven.
- Place one or two slices of baguette in the bottom of each of four ovenproof crocks.
- Add 1/4 cup of grated cheese to each crock and place the crocks on a cookie sheet.
- Ladle the onion and stock mixture into the crocks.
- Top with the remaining grated cheese, pressing some of the cheese against the lip of each crock.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until cheese is beautifully browned.
- In the last few moments, place the remaining baguette slices in the oven to warm.
- Serve the soup immediately with the toasted slices of baguette.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of beef broth and red wine when making the soup base.
- Sautéing the onions slowly on low heat will help them caramelize and develop a deep flavor.
- Use a variety of onions for a more complex flavor. Try using yellow onions, white onions, and shallots.
- Add a bay leaf to the soup pot for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, or chopped fresh herbs.
- To make the rye croutons, cut the bread into small cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
