French Onion Soup (My Favorite) image

A slightly sweeter, stronger flavored French Onion Soup recipe than most I've seen published. It's not diet food, but it sure is delicious! A mix of different onions also adds to the flavor. I've tweaked it over the years, and this is what I have found to be my favorite. I make it at least twice a month. It's an easily modifiable recipe to suit your taste, but seriously, I can't live without the molasses - it gives it a real depth.

Categories     Onions

Time 1h40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
6 large onions, thick french cut (I use a mix of red, yellow, white and sweet )
32 ounces beef broth
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
4 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 French baguette, sliced
monterey jack cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a stock pan.
  • Add onion, cover and sweat for 10 minutes.
  • Add sugar and molasses and stir well. Cover and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
  • Add flour and stir well to evenly distribute and avoid flour lumps, this will take a minute or two ( I add the flour a bit at a time to stop it from clumping).
  • Add beef broth, wine (if using), Worcestershire and pepper. Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Put a layer of cheese on a baguette slice for each bowl of soup you will be serving. Bake in a 400°F oven until cheese has melted and starts to slightly brown.
  • Place baguette slice in bowls and ladle soup over.
  • Enjoy, I personally add more black pepper when I eat this.
