A comforting and aromatic Simple French Onion Soup recipe that transforms humble ingredients into a delightful dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups sliced onions
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 4 slices French bread
  • 1 cup provolone cheese
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese (diced)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting unsalted butter and olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the pot and stir gently until they become tender and translucent, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, along with dry sherry, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven's broiler.
  5. Ladle the hot soup into oven-safe bowls, place thick slices of French bread on top, and sprinkle with provolone, diced Swiss, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Place the bowls under the preheated broiler for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove the bowls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Stir consistently to ensure even caramelization of onions.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties for unique flavors.
  • Let the soup simmer for a full 30 minutes for full flavor.
  • Watch the broiler closely to prevent burning.
  • Use oven-safe bowls but don’t overfill them.
  • Freeze the soup without croutons to maintain texture.
