How to Make Bennigan S Onion Soup

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 3 pounds of thinly sliced yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 6 cups of beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of crusty bread and a generous amount of shredded Gruyère cheese (about 1/4 cup per bowl).
  6. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
