Soup Base

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the dry white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze it. Allow the wine to reduce for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Add the beef broth, thyme leaves, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Baguette

    While the soup is simmering, preheat your broiler. Toast the baguette slices until golden brown on both sides.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls and top each bowl with a few slices of toasted baguette.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the Gruyère cheese and Parmesan cheese generously over the toasted baguette in each bowl.

  4. 8

    Broil the Soup

    Place the bowls under the broiler for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade French onion soup!
