Bowl of delicious French Onion Soup

Before we get all tangled up in this luscious concoction, let’s gather our weapons of deliciousness! Here’s what you will need:

Ingredients

  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced (like your patience when you’re waiting for this soup to cook!)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (because everything is better with butter)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (the classier sibling of butter)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to sprinkle some taste magic)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar (to sweeten the deal)
  • 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for the veggie lovers out there)
  • 1 cup dry white wine (for deglazing and sipping—don’t judge)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (because dried thyme just doesn’t cut it)
  • Baguette slices (as many as your heart desires)
  • 2 cups grated Gruyère cheese (the crown jewel of this whole affair)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with salt. Stir those beauties until they are soft, which should take about 10 minutes.
  2. Once soft, sprinkle on the sugar and continue cooking for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized and a rich brown. Your kitchen should be smelling divine!
  3. Pour in the white wine to deglaze. Scrape up all those tasty brown bits (yes, that’s called flavor). Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add in the beef or vegetable broth and thyme, bring everything to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20-30 minutes. Let those flavors mingle like good friends at a party.
  5. To serve, ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with baguette slices, and sprinkle a glorious amount of Gruyère cheese on top.
  6. Broil the bowls in the oven until the cheese melts and bubbles up like your excitement when you see pizza.

And there you have it! A bowl of French Onion Soup that will have everyone asking for seconds. So grab your spoon, dig in, and get ready for the compliments rolling in—everyone’s going to want you to share your secret!
