Traditional French onion soup has gobs of cheese. This version achieves the same full flavor from dried porcini mushrooms and a bit of Marsala wine.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 red onions, coarsely chopped
2 white onions, coarsely chopped
2 yellow onions, coarsely chopped
12 fresh pearl onions or 10 ounces frozen
3 shallots, coarsely chopped
2 leeks, washed and cut into 1/4-inch rings
4 medium bunches of chives, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup Marsala wine
6 cups Rich Beef Stock or low-sodium canned beef broth, skimmed of fat
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dried porcini
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus 4 sprigs of thyme

Steps:

  • In a 4-quart soup pot over medium heat, combine the olive oil, red, white, yellow, and pearl onions, and the shallots and saute until golden brown and soft.
  • Add the leeks and chives and cook until the onions turn a deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, 2 minutes more, or until the mixture begins to bubble.
  • Add 2 cups of stock every 15 minutes for the next 45 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by one-fourth after each addition.
  • Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves with the last 2 cups of stock. The soup will be a very deep brown. Ladle into deep soup bowls and garnish with thyme sprigs.

This soup is delicious! The caramelized onions give it a sweet and savory flavor. I love serving it with a side of crusty bread.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover onions. I always have a few extra onions lying around, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

Not bad, but not great. The onions were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the broth was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This soup is a winner! The onions are cooked to perfection and the broth is so flavorful. I added a bit of Worcestershire sauce and some grated Parmesan cheese, and it was even better. Highly recommend!
