Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 sourdough bread rounds (such as Brown 'N Serve®)
1 cup butter, divided
¼ cup crushed garlic, divided
1 sweet onion, diced
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
½ cup red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ pound Gruyere cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a baking sheet.
  • Cut a hole in the top of each bread round, leaving the sides and bottoms untouched, to make the opening of the bread bowl. Pull apart the cut-out section.
  • Place 1/2 cup butter and 2 tablespoons crushed garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until butter is melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Brush the insides of the bread bowls and the cut-out pieces with butter; place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add sweet onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 20 minutes more.
  • Stir the remaining garlic, beef broth, chicken broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce into the onions. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until flavors intensify, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon soup into each bread bowl. Cover soup with Gruyere cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and melted along the sides of the bread bowl, about 5 minutes.

This recipe is a waste of time. The soup is flavorless and the bread bowl is dry. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The soup was bland and the bread bowl was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This soup was not what I expected. The broth was too thin and the onions were not caramelized enough. I would not recommend this recipe.

The soup was good, but the bread bowl was a bit too hard. I think I would prefer to serve the soup in a regular bowl next time.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was delicious. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I've tried many French onion soup recipes, but this one is by far the best. The caramelized onions are perfectly sweet and savory, and the broth is so flavorful. I love that the recipe also includes instructions for making a sourdough bread bowl. It'
