How to Make Creamy French Onion Soup
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Toast 6 thick slices of French bread until golden brown and crisp (approximately 10-12 minutes).
- In a small bowl, blend 4 ounces of Stilton cheese with 2 tablespoons of softened butter until smooth. Spread evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- While the bread is toasting, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Add 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and cook, covered, until translucent and caramelized, stirring occasionally (about 30-40 minutes).
- Pour in 6 cups of beef broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat and cook until slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a Stilton cheese crouton and sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
