Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 pounds medium yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon flour
8 cups beef stock
2 cups dry white wine
Freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette
1 pound gruyere cheese, shredded

Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and the oil in a large heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add onions, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 20 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer for about 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, slice the bread into at least 8 thick slices.

Set bowls in 2 baking pans, place in the oven and bake until cheese has browned.

FRENCH ONION SOUP (SOUPE A L'OIGNON)

French Onion Soup (Soupe A L'Oignon) image

This is a traditional French onion soup recipe. It is not difficult to make....although you can use canned/prepared stock, it is best when made with "homemade" beef stock, as the canned/prepared stocks tend to be too salty.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lb onion, peeled
2 ounces butter
2 1/2-3 pints beef stock
4 ounces cognac (or less)
8 -12 slices French bread
4 -6 ounces grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

Slice the onions very thinly.
Cook them in butter until clear (do not let them brown).
Add stock and simmer for 45 minutes.
Just before serving, add the brandy.
Toast the bread towards the end of the cooking time, place the grated Gruyère on the toasted bread and float on the top of the soup.
If the soup is served in ovenproof bowls, you can place the filled bowls under the broiler for a minute or so to brown the cheese.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Use fresh onions, a good quality beef broth, and a flavorful cheese.
Caramelize the onions slowly: This is the key to getting a rich, flavorful soup. Cook the onions over low heat until they are deeply browned and caramelized.
Use a variety of onions: Using a combination of yellow, white, and red onions will give the soup a more complex flavor.
Add a splash of white wine: This will help to deglaze the pan and add a touch of acidity to the soup.
Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make French onion soup. Feel free to add your own personal touches, such as different herbs, spices, or cheeses.

Conclusion:

French onion soup is a classic dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is rich, flavorful, and heartwarming. With a little bit of effort, you can easily make this soup at home. So next time you are looking for a delicious and comforting meal, give French onion soup a try!
