French Onion Soup - Authentic Recipe from Steve Ross Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by [email protected]

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (Steve uses unsalted butter)
1 cup white wine, optional
2 quarts beef broth
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
6 to 8 slices French bread
1 1/2 cups Gruyere or Swiss cheese or a mixture of either with Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 Cup Courvoisier Cognac (dry Madeira or Sherry is optional if you prefer one of these)

Steps:

  • Place a thick-bottomed 4-quart pot over medium heat and add olive oil (or unsalted butter). Add onions and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Mix onions with oil (or butter) and salt, stirring until onions wilt. Turn heat to low and cook, stirring frequently until onions are a deep golden brown, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Do not let tips of slices burn. Add white wine and boil down until it is nearly evaporated. Add beef broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Then turn down to low and simmer partially covered for 45 minutes. While soup is simmering, place bread slices on a sheet and place into a preheated 325-335°F oven until toasted golden brown. To serve, preheat oven to 350°F. Taste the broth and add salt and pepper to taste (little or no added salt may be necessary if canned broth was used). Add the 1/4 cup of Courvoisier Cognac. Ladle soup into oven-proof bowels. Place a slice of bread into each bowl and divide the cheese among the bowls. Place a sheet pan into the oven and place soup bowls into pan. Bake until bubbling and cheese is slightly browned (20 to 30 minutes)

This soup is a great way to use up leftover bread. It's also a very affordable dish to make.

The soup was good, but it was a bit too greasy for my taste. I would recommend using less butter next time.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less salt next time.
