Report
French Onion Soup without Wine, absolutely delicious, with little prep and big on flavours. I might not have any alcohol in it, but the taste is definitely not compromised at all. The perfect comfort food for all ages, this soup works wonders in the cold season and not only.

Ingredients
- 5 onions
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 4 cups beef stock/broth
- 1 ½ tablespoon flour
- 30 g butter (⅛ cup)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
To serve
- 8 slices of baguette bread
- ½ cup grated cheese
Instructions
- Peel and slice the onions thinly.
- Melt the butter in a large pan, then add the oil.
- In goes the sliced onion.
- Sprinkle over the salt and sugar, place the lid on, and leave to cook on a low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Peel and chop the garlic, and add it to the onion.
- Continue to cook the onions and garlic without a lid until you get a deep golden brown (but not burnt) colour.
- Add the flour, give it a stir, then pour in the beef stock.
- Place the lid back on, and cook for a further 20 minutes. If you feel that the soup is too thick, add more broth.
- Arrange the baguette slices on a roasting tray, divide the grated cheese evenly, then grill/bake until the cheese is melted.
- Serve the soup hot with the cheesy baguette slices and optionally, with chopped spring onions.
Notes
- Make sure the onions are not cooked on a high heat, otherwise they will brown and burn quickly, without them actually being proper soft.
- A low heat, although it takes longer, ensures that the onions get a lovely caramelized touch which enhances the deep flavours of this soup.
