Hands down the best and only French Onion Soup recipe you'll ever need
Share:
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 5 yellow onions thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 3-4 fresh thyme sprigs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup red wine
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts beef broth
- 1 baguette sliced
- ½ pound grated gruyere
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes.
- Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
- Dust the onions with flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Next, add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Once the soup is done, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Top the toasts with the Gruyère and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup in bowls and float the Gruyère toasts on top.
Notes
- Make sure you have soup bowls, ramekins, or mini crocks that are oven safe. That way you can do the best part of this recipe - broiling the cheese on top!
