Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 5-6 large sweet onions thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
- 12 oz bottle of lager
- 5 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 baguette cut into 2" slices and toasted
- 2 cups grated gruyere cheese
Instructions
- In a large stockpot or dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions to the pot
- Turn heat to medium low, and cook uncovered for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized. Watch carefully for any signs of burning, and turn heat lower if needed.
- Add the beer, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, bay leaf and thyme, stirring well. Bring heat up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
- Preheat broiler to medium high
- Put six French onion soup bowls or oven-safe soup bowls on a baking sheet and ladle soup into each one.
- Put toasted french bread on top of each, and pile shredded cheese on top of the toasted bread.
- Broil for about 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
- Serve Hot
Notes
- Prep time includes caramelizing the onions.
- This can be a vegetarian soup by substituting vegetable stock for beef stock.
- Reduce the sodium indicated in this recipe by using no salt or reduced salt beef stock.
- Use gluten-free beer, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, and gluten-free French bread or baguette to make the recipe gluten-free.
- Make ahead: Make the soup up to step 4. Allow to cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to two days. When you're ready to complete the recipe, reheat the soup to a simmer, then continue from step 5.
