Ingredients

  • 8 onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 8 cups beef stock
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 loaf French bread
  • 2 cups grated Gruyere

Directions

Saute onions and garlic in oil over low heat until tender and golden yellow. Sprinkle flour over onions, cook a few minutes more, browning the flour well. Add stock and wine and bring to a boil, add thyme and bay leaf. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes or so. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Meanwhile, slice French bread into 3/4-inch slices and butter both sides. Toast slices on griddle until golden brown. Ladle soup into an ovenproof bowl, add toasted bread and cover with cheese. Place ovenproof bowl on a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Bake at 350 degrees F or 5 minutes under a hot broiler.

    Best French Onion Soup We Have Ever Had

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I used Swiss Cheese and only 6 onions (the onions that I had purchased where large).

    Simple Goodnes!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I LOVE soups, and French Onion has been an old-fashion favorite of mine. And I have to say, this one is a BIG score! I used... beef bouillon (1/2 per each cup of water), and added 1 whole extra one. This way, I don't have to use salt. I also added a good pinch of Cayenne Pepper - and drank the rest of the wine bottle while savoring the soup. Ready in a few minutes and a true delight - Simple Goodness!Read more

    As good as it gets!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This soup was as good as I would get at my favorite french restaurant! Took longer than expected to cook down the onions,... but they ended up being perfect. All I need is to buy some individual oven proof bowls...will make for a much prettier presentation. Thanks Paula!!Read more
