French Onion Soup Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes until the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized.

2. 2

   Deglaze the Pot

   Add the dry white wine to the pot, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce for about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Stock and Seasonings

   Pour in the beef bone stock and add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare Garlic Croutons

   While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into thick slices, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

5. 5

   Serve the Soup

   Ladle the hot soup into bowls, top with a slice of baguette, and sprinkle generously with provolone cheese. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
