How to Make Amazing French Onion Soup
- Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
- Sprinkle sugar over the onions and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar caramelizes slightly.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Preheat broiler.
- Place 4-6 croutons in the bottom of each oven-safe bowl or crock.
- Ladle the onion soup over the croutons.
- Top each bowl with 2 slices of provolone cheese.
- Place bowls on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and lightly browned.
- Let stand for a few minutes before serving and enjoy!
