French Onion Soup recipe
French Onion Soup recipe
Absolutely the Best French Onion Soup recipe! I make this delicious, rich soup at our farm at our farm with Yellow Rock Onions and Early Italian Purple garlic that we grow in our garden. You can use French bread croutons, or make your own garlic croutons for a robust, burst of added flavor. The secret to superb French Onion Soup is not to burn the onions during cooking, but rather to slow cook the onions until a deep golden brown. Try our Warm Salmon Salad recipe as a nice paring to this rich soup. 6 tablespoons butter
8 medium size Yellow Rock onions, sliced thinly
4 French Cooking Thyme sprigs, leaves stripped
1/2 cup sherry
1 clove garlic crushed
6 cups organic chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
French bread croutons or garlic croutons
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
Directions
In a large saucepan add butter and melt over medium heat. Add the onions, crushed garlic and lower the heat to medium low. Add the thyme leaves and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to turn golden brown, about 25 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until the sherry is almost completely evaporated and the onions are brown, about 15 minutes.
Add the stocks and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Ladle the soup into 8 oven-proof soup bowls. Place the soup bowls on a sheet pan. Place the croutons on top of the soup, to cover. Top each bowl with 1/2 cup grated cheese. Place in the oven and cook until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
