How to Make Onion Soup With Parmigiano And Cracked Pepper

  1. Warm the butter and olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are meltingly soft and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. Add the beef or vegetable stock to the pot.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. While the soup simmers, sprinkle the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into the bottom of four soup bowls.
  6. In a plastic bag, crush the peppercorns and coriander seeds using a meat mallet or rolling pin until finely ground. Sprinkle this mixture, along with the nutmeg, over the cheese in the bowls.
  7. Rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the slices of bread. Brush both sides of the bread slices with the remaining olive oil. Heat a dry sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the bread and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Break the toasted bread into small pieces.
  8. Ladle the hot soup into the prepared bowls, placing the toasted bread pieces on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
