French Onion Soup Recipe

 
 
Guess I’m into French Cuisine these days, after my Crock Pot Beef Bourguignon, I’m sharing with you my succulent French Onion Soup Recipe. This delicious French onion soup will warm your hearth. It’s a great starter to any meal, but I usually eat it as a meal accompanied by some puffed pastry appetizers.
 
French Onion Soup
 
This recipe makes 8 portions. I use 2 portions and freeze the rest in plastic containers (2 portions per container).
 
Ingredients
 
10 medium onions finely sliced
75 ml of butter
2 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of flour
2 red ale beers (341 ml)
6 cups of beef broth
1 tablespoon of concentrated beef broth (Bovril or Knor).
Salt and pepper to taste
1″ thick slice of baguette bread (1 per portion)
Grated old cheddar cheese or gruyère cheese (1/4 cup per portion)
 
Directions
 
– In a large sauce pan, melt butter at medium heat.
– Add the onions to the pot with 1 tablespoon of sugar. 
 
French Onion Soup 
 
 
– Stir and cook for about 30 minutes at medium low heat, until onions are translucent and golden (make sure you stir often, add a little bit of water if necessary).
 
 
 French Onion Soup
–  Add flour and stir well.
Add beer and bring to a boil scraping bottom of the sauce pan. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until reduced to half (do not cover).
– Add beef broth, concentrated beef broth, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. 
-Reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.
– Taste and adjust seasoning.
– Place soup in onion soup bowls.
– Place the pieces of baguette bread on a baking sheet. Grill both sides of bread.
– Cover the soup with a piece of grilled baguette bread and 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
– Place the onion soup bowls on a baking sheet and broil in the oven until the cheese is golden brown.
 
This is comfort food at its best.
 
Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting Do It All Working Mom.

    My husband goes nuts for a good French Onion Soup and this looks like it doesn’t skimp out on the stuff that makes it oh-so-good! Will have to try this recipe. A funny thing, while in Paris, France I ordered the “French Onion Soup” only to be corrected. It is of course only “onion Soup” in France! LOL.

      LOL… Or “Soupe à l’oignon” 😉

    I can never seem to get the cheese to brown and crisp up like it does in restaurants. Any suggestions? Thanks for sharing the recipe!

      The trick is not to put to much cheese. it’s to heavy and does not stay on top but melts in the soup. You also need to heat the soup first, when it’s hot add your bread and cheese and place it in the oven on the top rack and broil the top.

    I love French Onion soup. I have never tried to make it myself though. It seems to take a lot of trouble. Maybe now is the time to try!

      It takes a bit of time but it’s so worth it!

    It’s so yummy and the fact that you can freeze it is great. You always have great soup in the freezer.

    This sounds wonderful, and yummy, I can imagine sitting at the table a rainy day with a large piece of bread and enjoying this soup, I have never made it from scratch, I have eaten it out a lot and love it, will try this and freeze for other days, never knew sugar was in it, yummy

    • Caroline Barnes says

      September 28, 2014 at 12:18 pm

      Thanks, yes the sugar helps the onions to caramelize.
