Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, shredded chicken, thyme, black pepper, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
  4. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  5. While the soup is simmering, toast the French bread slices. Optionally, drizzle with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, top each with a slice of toasted bread, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  7. Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: This French onion chicken soup can be made in advance. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Add a splash of white wine to the onions while caramelizing for extra depth. You can also swap the cheese for cheddar or Parmesan if you prefer.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the soup hot, topped with the toasted French bread slices and melted cheese. Pair with a simple side salad for a full meal.
  • Allergy-Friendly Options: Use gluten-free bread for the croutons to make the soup gluten-free. For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup (without the bread) for up to 3 months.
