Instructions

1

Caramelize the onions

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions, sugar, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes until onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.

Astuce de chef : Stir frequently to prevent onions from sticking and burning.

2

Deglaze the pot

Pour in the sherry to deglaze the pot, scraping up the fond from the bottom. Simmer until the sherry reduces by half, about 5 minutes.

Astuce de chef : Use a wooden spoon to scrape the pot.

3

Add broth and herbs

Stir in the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

Astuce de chef : Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

4

Prepare the croutons

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes until golden.

Astuce de chef : Turn slices halfway through toasting for even colour.

5

Assemble the soup

Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaves from the soup. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls.

Astuce de chef : Place bowls on a baking sheet for easy handling.

6

Broil the cheese

Top each bowl with a toasted baguette slice and a generous amount of Gruyère. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Astuce de chef : Watch closely to prevent burning.

Suggestions de service

Serve your French Onion Soup with a side of crusty baguette and a light green salad for a complete meal. The soup pairs beautifully with a glass of red wine, such as a Pinot Noir or Merlot. This soup can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove and add the croutons and cheese just before serving to ensure the topping remains crisp and gooey.
