Categories     Onions

Time 45m

Yield 1 gallon, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons clarified butter
2 large red onions, thinly sliced
6 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 quarts beef stock
2 quarts chicken stock
12 ounces dry sherry
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 1/2-2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
paprika, to taste
1 teaspoon chopped scallion
sourdough croutons or toasted pieces French bread
thinly sliced swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large heavy pot over moderate heat and add the onions, separating the rings with a fork. Cover and sauté onions, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Raise the heat to medium high and cook, stirring often, until the onions are very soft and a deep golden brown, about 20 minutes more. Add beef stock, chicken stock, sherry, brown sugar, pepper, thyme, parsley, paprika and scallions. Simmer for 10 minutes, or longer, if desired. To serve, pour soup into warmed bowls, and top with croutons and Swiss cheese.
  • To clarify butter: Melt butter in a heavy pan over low heat. Skim off froth and carefully pour clear liquid into another container, being careful to leave the milky residue behind.
  • Recipe can be halved or doubled.
  • At the restaurant we served these in onion bowls -- or very large yellow onions with the root cut off and the insides mostly scraped out(this can be used in the soup) with an ice cream scoop. After toping them with croutons and cheese they were placed under the broiler until bubbling.

RESTAURANT-STYLE FRENCH ONION SOUP



Restaurant-Style French Onion Soup image

Classic French onion soup, similar to one you can get in a restaurant. Made with wine and sherry to bring out the beef flavor of the broth. Two different cheeses top it off to give it that bubbly, browned, and stretchy topping.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Onion Soup Recipes     French Onion Soup Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter
8 onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup red wine
1 tablespoon sherry
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 quarts beef broth
1 French baguette, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
olive oil, or as needed
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, and thyme until onions are soft and brown, about 30 minutes. Pour in red wine and sherry; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until you can no longer smell alcohol cooking off, about 15 more minutes.
  • Sprinkle onion mixture with flour and stir until coated; cook for 10 minutes. Pour in broth, stir to blend in flour, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) while soup is simmering. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes, turning the bread over halfway through cooking. Remove toast and set aside.
  • Set an oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.
  • Ladle soup into 6 oven-proof crocks, filling them about 3/4 full. Place 1 or 2 bread slices into the bowls and top each with a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of provolone. Carefully place filled crocks onto a sturdy baking sheet.
  • Broil soup until the cheese is browned and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes.

CLASSIC FRENCH ONION SOUP



Classic French Onion Soup image

Mama loves this soup. What's not to love? It's a hearty bowl of sweet, brown, caramelized onions in a rich beef broth, enriched with a dose of sherry and topped with deliciously nutty, golden brown, melted Gruyère cheese. Why does Gruyère taste so good? Aged, low-moisture cheeses such as Gruyère and Parmigiano-Reggiano have a stronger protein structure than younger, softer cheeses like fontina or fresh mozzarella, and require higher temperatures to melt. The higher heat, combined with less moisture, causes the protein to actually break down, bringing out their nutty flavor.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
6 onions, preferably Vidalia, sliced
2 leeks, white and pale green parts, well washed (see page 232), halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced into half-moons
1 shallot, chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry sherry
6 cups beef stock (page 227) or low-fat, reduced-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 baguette, sliced diagonally 1/2 inch thick
3 cups grated Gruyère cheese (about 12 ounces)
Snipped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • To caramelize the onions, in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions, leeks, and shallot. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with sugar, and cook, stirring as needed to keep the onions from sticking, until the onions are melting and soft, golden brown, and beginning to caramelize, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • To prepare the soup, sprinkle the flour over the onions, and stir to coat. Add the sherry, stock, and thyme and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to low, and simmer, partially covered, for about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the broiler. To serve, ladle hot soup into 6 ovenproof bowls. Arrange the bowls on a baking sheet. Place 1 or 2 slices of baguette over each bowl of soup. Top each bowl with 1/2 cup grated cheese so it covers the baguette slices. Broil until the cheese is melted and crusty brown around the edges. (Watch carefully so the bread doesn't burn.) Garnish with the chives. Serve immediately.
  • Sherry is a fortified wine from the town of Jerez de la Frontera, in the Andalusia region of Spain. Sherries can range in flavor from sweet to dry, and are served either at room temperature or chilled. Sherry is an excellent apéritif and adds a lively punch in cooking, where it is typically added as a finish for soups.

THE ULTIMATE RIBEYE FRENCH ONION SOUP



The Ultimate Ribeye French Onion Soup image

I love to reimagine classic dishes. The addition of tender ribeye here takes the French onion soup you've always known to a new level. Garnish with more fresh thyme sprigs.

Provided by RusticJoyfylFood

Time 4h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ pounds thick-cut, bone-in ribeye steak
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 large onions, sliced 1/2-inch thick
4 sprigs fresh thyme, or more to taste
2 cups dry white wine
1 (32 ounce) carton reduced-sodium beef broth
4 slices artisanal-style bread
¾ cup shredded white Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Sprinkle steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Heat butter and oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add steak; sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove steak; drain all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Stir in onions and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Boil until wine is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut steak from the bones and chop into 1-inch pieces; transfer to the pot. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until beef is very tender, about 3 hours. Add water as needed to keep onions and beef covered.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange bread on a small baking sheet.
  • Bake bread in the preheated oven until toasted, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl.
  • Remove and discard bones and thyme sprigs from the pot. Skim off any excess fat. Stir in remaining salt and pepper.
  • Set an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Divide soup among 4 oven-proof bowls or mugs; arrange on a large foil-lined baking sheet. Top each bowl with toast and cheeses.
  • Broil soups until cheese is browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
