FRENCH ONION SOUP



French Onion Soup image

In 1954, what was then called the Food News Department of The New York Times released a pamphlet simply called "Soups," which had 20 recipes for soups "thick and thin, hot and cold," including those for minestrone, shrimp bisque and this French onion soup. We've updated the recipe adding sherry and wine to layer in more flavors. The bulk of the time is spent on caramelizing the onions, a process that always takes longer than it seems it should. But it's worth the wait.

Provided by Sara Bonisteel

Categories     lunch, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 to 4 large red or yellow onions (about 3 pounds), peeled and thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
2 quarts (8 cups) beef stock
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
French bread cut into 8 to 12 1/2-inch slices
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyère cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir and cover, letting onions soften for 5 minutes. Remove lid and let onions caramelize until golden brown over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Adjust heat if onions are browning too quickly. The caramelization process may take 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, warm broth in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Once onions are caramelized, add wine and sherry to the pot and allow mixture to come to boil. Stir in flour and let thicken for a minute or two.
  • Slowly add warm broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper to the onion mixture and boil uncovered for 10 minutes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat the broiler, and arrange individual ovenproof casseroles on a baking sheet. Ladle soup into casseroles, and cover top with bread slices. Sprinkle each casserole generously with Gruyère. Broil for a minute or two, watching carefully, until cheese melts and browns. Serve immediately.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ounces butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large onions, finely sliced
4 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/4 cups white wine
1 bay leaf
1 bouquet garni
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
1 1/4 quarts chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
crouton, for sprinkling
freshly grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-based saucepan heat together the butter and olive oil until the butter has melted.

Tips:

  • Don't rush the caramelizing process: Take your time and let the onions caramelize slowly over low heat. This will bring out their natural sweetness and richness.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the soup. Choose a dry white wine with a good acidity, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
  • Don't be afraid to add a little cheese: A sprinkle of grated Parmesan or Gruyère cheese can add a delicious richness to the soup.
  • Serve with a crusty baguette: A warm, crusty baguette is the perfect accompaniment to onion soup. It's great for dipping and soaking up all the delicious broth.
