Ingredients
  • 2 T. oil
  • 3 T. butter
  • 6 C. thinly sliced onions
  • 1/2 t. sugar
  • 2 1/2 qts. beef broth
  • 1/2 C. dry white wine
  • sprig fresh thyme (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices slightly stale French bread
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese or 2 cups grated

Directions
  1. Heat the oil in a heavy 5-6 qt. pan. Add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onions and cook slowly, covered for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and salt. Cook onions slowly until onions caramelize and turn to a rich brown color. Do not let them burn! This will take 45-60 minutes.
  2. Add the wine and cook 5 minutes, still over low heat. Add the stock and check for seasoning. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
  3. To serve:
  4. Toast the French bread slices until golden brown. Ladle the soup into a ovenproof bowl, add the toasted bread and cover with the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or 5 minutes under a hot broiler.

Love french onion soup... like the fact that your recipe slowly caramelizes the onions... it makes a big difference in the finished flavor of the soup... five forks


A must have recipe this sound prefer and looks fantastic I prefer the addition of fresh thyme when I make it.
Five forks and a big smile :)


My hubby and I were just talking about some FO soup.....perfect timing to find this one! I like extra provolone cheese melted on top!


~Hello~
"5"FORK!!!!! for this 'Classic' Onion Soup~
It is taking the time to 'Caramelize' the onions
that really makes the Delicious difference
between a "Ho-Hum" soup and One that "SINGS" !
Thank-you for sharing~
