You Know This French Onion Soup Recipe Is Good When No One’s Talking

When I made this French Onion Soup Recipe the other day I know it was good when I served it as all I heard was spoons clanking on the bowls and no one was saying a word. Not a single word! That’s when I said, “Time out! Breathe”!

French onion soup can generally be served with croutons or slices of toasted French Baguette’s. The fancy word for toasted baguette’s is crostini’s. I like serving my French Onion Soup with crostini’s! How about you?

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds yellow onion sliced
• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 cups homemade beef stock
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 of a 1/4 cup dry sherry
• 1 French baguette sliced (I use 2 slices per bowl)
• 2 cups freshly grated cheese (Fontina, Swiss and Gruyere)

Instructions:

Grate Cheese

Grate cheese and set aside. Best to place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Slice Onions and cook

Hint: The best way to buy onions is in bulk. Then use a kitchen scale and weigh out 2 pounds. Having a kitchen scale is very handy in the kitchen. I use it ALL THE TIME!

Slice onions in half between the root and the tip. Then make 1/4 inch cuts. Put sliced onion in a large stock pot along with butter.

Cook onions on medium heat stirring occasionally until onions are caramelized with a nice golden color.

Add other ingredients

Stir in flour until completely combined. Add beef stock, thyme, salt, pepper and sherry. Cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat.

Prepare bowls

Using a soup ladle pour french onion soup into oven safe French Onion Soup Crocks filling about 2 inches from the top.

Add 2 slices of toasted French baguettes or crostini’s and generously sprinkle cheese over baguettes.

Broil and Serve

Place crocks on foil lined baking sheet and broil on medium until cheese has melted and slightly brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!
