How to Make Alton's French Onion Soup Attacked By Sandi
- Preheat oven to broil. Trim and halve lengthwise 3 large yellow onions. Peel and thinly slice into half-moon shapes.
- Set an electric skillet to 300°F (150°C). Add 4 tablespoons of butter and melt.
- Add a layer of onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Repeat layering onions and salt until all onions are in the skillet.
- Do not stir for 15 minutes, allowing the onions to sweat.
- Stir occasionally and continue cooking until the onions are a dark mahogany color and reduced to about 2 cups (approximately 30 minutes). Do not burn!
- Add 1 cup of dry white wine and bring to a boil. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the wine reduces to a syrup consistency.
- Add 4 cups chicken broth, 2 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and a bouquet garni.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Cut crusty country bread into rounds large enough to fit your oven-safe soup crocks.
- Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Place bread slices on a baking sheet and broil for 1 minute per side, or until lightly browned.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni.
- Ladle soup into oven-safe crocks, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
- Top each crock with a toasted bread round and a generous layer of blended grated Gruyère and Emmental cheeses.
- Broil for 1-4 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Enjoy!
