ONION SOUP WITH BEER

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons butter
4 cups thinly sliced onions
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup amber beer
4 cups brown beef or veal stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 rounds toasted or stale French bread
2/3 cup slivered Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy saucepan. Add the onions and sugar, cover and cook over low heat until the onions wilt, about 10 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium and continue to cook, covered, stirring the onions from time to time, until they are golden. Stir in the beer and cook five minutes longer.
  • Add the stock and simmer the soup, covered, over medium heat for about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the soup among four crocks or ovenproof bowls, top each with a crouton and some cheese and broil just until the cheese melts. Serve at once.

Tips for Making the Best French Onion Soup with Beer:

- Use a variety of onions for a more complex flavor. Try a combination of yellow, white, and red onions. - Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently. This will bring out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor. - Use a good quality beer. A dark, malty beer will add a lot of flavor to the soup. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyère and Swiss are classic choices, but you could also try Gouda, mozzarella, or cheddar. - Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or croutons for dipping.

Conclusion:

French onion soup with beer is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is relatively easy to make, but it does take some time to caramelize the onions properly. If you are short on time, you can use pre-sliced onions or even frozen onions. However, the soup will not be as flavorful. So, if you have the time, I highly recommend caramelizing the onions yourself. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
