French Onion Soup
Ingredients
3 tbs unsalted butter
3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
4 yellow onions
1 1/2 cup beef stock
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup worcestershire
1/4 cup dry sherry wine
1 bunch thyme
1 tbs salt
1 tbs black pepper
2 slices of Italian bread
gruyere cheese
garlic parsley butter 1tbs
Instructions
- Begin by thinly slicing the onions. In a medium pot, heat a combination of extra virgin olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions. Sauté until the onions become translucent, then incorporate the garlic cloves and fresh thyme. Allow the mixture to cook for approximately 10 minutes.
- Next, add Worcestershire sauce and dry sherry wine to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- When the onions are nicely caramelized, pour in the beef stock and continue to reduce for an additional 30 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, prepare the garlic parsley butter. Spread this evenly on thick slices of Italian bread and toast until golden brown.
- Once the soup is ready, ladle it into an oven-safe serving dish and place the toasted bread on top. Generously grate Gruyère cheese over the bread.
- Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and achieves a light brown color.
- Serve immediately, bon appetite!
