French Onion soup! I made it for dinner Tuesday night and I’m sharing this delicious recipe with you today. Pair it with a chopped salad of butter lettuce, radicchio and endive spears. Toss the salad with a light vinaigrette and you’ve got a perfect winter meal! I hope you’ll love this recipe as much as we do. It’s easy to double for more servings too. Get out your soup pots and start cooking!
French Onion Soup
5 tablespoons butter
3 large white onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons Madeira wine
1/2 teaspoon dry thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
4 cups beef broth
4 cups chicken broth
sea salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
8 slices French bread (stale or lightly toasted)
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven. Add the onions and cook for 15 minutes, until the onions are beginning to brown. Add 1/2 cup of Madeira, 2 tablespoons at a time, allow to evaporate before adding more. Cook for 15 more minutes. Add the thyme, bay leaf and broths. Reduce to simmer and cook for one hour. Add sea salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Madeira. Ladle the soup into four bowls, place two slices of French bread on the top and cover with shredded gruyere. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese is bubbly and just beginning to brown.
