French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup is one of my all time favorite soups but for some reason I had never made it before this.

If I spot it on the restaurant menu my eyes immediately light up. In fact, Paul and I both usually always order a bowl whenever we can find it and I always tell him how easy it is to make.

I figured it was finally time for me to prove it to him.

I searched through different recipes but when it comes to French Onion Soup I think it tastes best with just a few simple ingredients.

So I whipped up a batch in no time and I was right!  Easy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 4 Large Yellow onions ,cut in half and cut into slices
  • 2 Cloves Garlic ,chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Sherry or red wine
  • 6 Cups Beef stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Large woody sprig of thyme
  • French baguette cut into 1 inch slices
  • Provolone, Gruyere, or swiss cheese ,for topping soup

Instructions

  • In a large pot set over medium heat, heat 1 Tablespoon oil until shimmering. Add the onions and saute until golden brown. Make sure you keep tossing onions so they don't burn otherwise it will add a bitter flavor to your soup.
  • Whisk in the butter, then the flour and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then deglaze the pan with the sherry, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Slowly stir in the stock; bring to a simmer. Add the whole sprig of thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes, until broth has thickened slightly. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Spoon the soup into bowls and top with a slice of bread (approximately 1 inch thick and a thick layer of cheese. I used about 3 deli slices.)
  • Place under a preheated broiler on HIGH for 3 minutes, until cheese is browned. Serve immediately
