How to Make A French Onion Soup Lovers French Onion Soup
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 3 pounds of thinly sliced yellow onions, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of dry red wine (like Burgundy or Cabernet Sauvignon), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add 6 cups of beef broth, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your broiler.
- Ladle the soup into two oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with 2 slices of crusty French bread and a generous amount of Gruyère cheese (about 1/2 cup per bowl).
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
