French Onion Soup Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

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

2. 2

   Deglaze the Pot

   Add the dry white wine to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the beef broth, add the thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

4. 4

   Serve

   Remove the bay leaf. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with slices of toasted bread and sprinkle with shredded comté cheese. Place under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
