Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons sweet butter

1/2 cup chopped shallot
4 -6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock

1 cup heavy cream
3 scallions, trimmed,cleaned,and diagonally cut into 1/2 ",pieces
toasted french bread crouton (garnish)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a pot.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Use a combination of yellow and sweet onions for a balanced flavor. Yellow onions provide a savory base, while sweet onions add a touch of sweetness and depth.
  • Caramelize the Onions Slowly: Take your time caramelizing the onions. This process can take up to an hour, but it's worth it to develop their rich, sweet flavor.
  • Use a Variety of Broths: Don't just stick to beef broth. Experiment with different types of broths, such as chicken, vegetable, or mushroom, to create a more complex flavor profile.
  • Add Some Acid: A splash of white wine, sherry, or lemon juice can brighten up the soup and balance the sweetness of the onions.
  • Don't Forget the Cheese: Gruyère and Parmesan are classic choices for French onion soup, but feel free to experiment with other types of cheeses, such as Gouda, Cheddar, or Swiss.
  • Serve with a Crusty Bread: French onion soup is traditionally served with a crusty baguette or croutons. This helps to soak up the delicious broth and cheese.

Conclusion:

French onion soup is a classic dish that is both comforting and elegant. With its caramelized onions, rich broth, and melted cheese, it's sure to be a hit at your next dinner party. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
