French Onion Soup – Cup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin rings.

2. 2

   Sauté 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 25-30 minutes or until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

3. 3

   Add Garlic

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced.

5. 5

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Add the beef broth, thyme leaves, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes.

6. 6

   Prepare Bread

   While the soup simmers, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the slices of French baguette on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

7. 7

   Serve the Soup

   Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the hot soup into oven-safe bowls, place a toasted slice of baguette on top of each bowl, and sprinkle with shredded Gruyère cheese.

8. 8

   Broil the Cheese

   Put the bowls under the broiler for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
