Tips:
- Use a variety of onions: Yellow onions are a classic choice for French onion soup, but you can also use white or red onions for a slightly different flavor.
- Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently: This step is essential for developing the soup's rich flavor. Be sure to cook the onions over low heat until they are deeply browned and caramelized.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and rich.
- Add a splash of white wine: White wine adds a touch of acidity and complexity to the soup. If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The classic cheese for French onion soup is Gruyère, but you can also use other cheeses such as Swiss, Parmesan, or fontina. A combination of cheeses will give the soup a more complex flavor.
- Serve the soup with a toasted baguette: The toasted baguette is the perfect accompaniment to French onion soup. It's great for dipping into the soup and soaking up all of the delicious flavors.
