Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Slice the red and yellow onions thinly. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Stock

   Minced the garlic and add it to the caramelized onions. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Prepare the Crostini

   While the soup simmers, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Brush each slice with olive oil and toast them in the oven until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

4. 4

   Assemble the French Onion Soup

   Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a few slices of toasted baguette and a generous amount of Swiss cheese.

5. 5

   Broil the Soup

   Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Serve

   Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious French Onion Soup!
