French Onion Soup
A couple weekends ago James and I went out for my friend Linda's birthday. Three people in our group proclaimed that they HAD to have French Onion Soup every time they went to a restaurant that had it. I decided to make some myself. Here is my recipe...Ingredients
- 8 onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 cups beef stock
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or sherry
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper
- 1 loaf French bread
- 2 cups grated Gruyere
Directions
- Saute onions and garlic in oil over low heat until tender and golden.
- Sprinkle flour over onions, cook a few minutes more, browning the flour well.
- Add stock and wine and bring to a boil, add thyme and bay leaf.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for at least 20 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, slice French bread into 3/4-inch slices and butter both sides.
- Toast slices on griddle until golden brown.
- Ladle soup into an ovenproof bowl, add toasted bread and cover with cheese.
- Place ovenproof bowl on a baking sheet lined with tin foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 5 minutes under a hot broiler or the highest rack possible in the oven.

Hi
The onion soup looks good.I was wondering what kind of onion did you use?
Ms Recipe
Some people use Vidalia onions and others feel it makes it too sweet. I love the flavor of onions so I used the regular yellow ones.
I am going to give this a try! It looks incredible!
