French Onion Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent burning.

2. 2

   Add Broth and Wine

   Once the onions are caramelized, add the dry white wine and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, pour in the beef broth and add thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for another 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Baguette

   While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the French baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly toasted.

4. 4

   Serve the Soup

   Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a few pieces of the toasted baguette and sprinkle with Gruyère cheese. Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

5. 5

   Enjoy

   Let the bowls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade French onion soup!
