French Onion Soup (Soupe A L'Oignon) image

This is a traditional French onion soup recipe. It is not difficult to make....although you can use canned/prepared stock, it is best when made with "homemade" beef stock, as the canned/prepared stocks tend to be too salty.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb onion, peeled
2 ounces butter
2 1/2-3 pints beef stock
4 ounces cognac (or less)
8 -12 slices French bread
4 -6 ounces grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Slice the onions very thinly.
  • Cook them in butter until clear (do not let them brown).
  • Add stock and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Just before serving, add the brandy.
  • Toast the bread towards the end of the cooking time, place the grated Gruyère on the toasted bread and float on the top of the soup.
  • If the soup is served in ovenproof bowls, you can place the filled bowls under the broiler for a minute or so to brown the cheese.
