If you love onions, then this delectable, mouthwatering soup is a must-make recipe. We make this tasty soup at least once a month and love every spoonful. It is such an easy recipe that even the novice chef can handle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-Preset-8-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"French Onion Soup is the ultimate comfort soup and is so quick and easy to make.\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-make-french-onion-soup\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO MAKE FRENCH ONION SOUP<\/h2>\n<p>Start by heating a little butter and olive oil in a Dutch Oven or stock pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 45 minutes stirring every few minutes until a rich golden brown. You may need to reduce the heat if they are browning too fast. There is a fine line between stirring too much and not stirring enough. The key is to stir them enough to keep them from burning but not so much that they are not browning. This process is known as caramelizing the onions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-73854 entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-300x210.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-768x538.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-720x504.webp 720w, https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-360x252.webp 360w, https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-180x126.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-150x105.webp 150w\" alt=\"How to make French Onion Soup\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4.webp 1000w,https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-300x210.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-768x538.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-720x504.webp 720w,https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-360x252.webp 360w,https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-180x126.webp 180w,https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4-150x105.webp 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/French-Onion-Soup-4.webp\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Once browned, stir in the garlic and dried thyme. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove the browned bits. This technique is known as deglazing. Now let the wine and onions simmer for a few minutes. Next, add the beef broth, chicken broth, Worcestershire Sauce, and bay leaf and simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<p>Spoon the soup into oven-proof soup bowls, add several crostini to the top, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Set them on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Red adds a more robust flavor, and white is more subtle. If you have a personal preference on which one you prefer to drink, go with that.<\/li>\n<li>You can use all beef broth for a richer, fuller flavor or if it is just more convenient. I always have beef and chicken broth in the house, so a combination is usually the way I go on this recipe.<\/li>\n<li>I find\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smalltownwoman.com\/easy-crostini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crostini<\/a>\u00a0works best for this recipe. They hold up long enough to provide structure and texture without coming off as a soggy piece of bread. Or simply\u00a0toast\u00a0or\u00a0broil\u00a0baguette\u00a0slices\u00a0until\u00a0golden brown.<\/li>\n<li>Gruyere is a smooth melting type of Swiss Cheese with fewer and smaller eyes. If it is not available, you can substitute Swiss or Jarlsberg.<\/li>\n<li>Broilers are very unpredictable. Stay close by and monitor well.<\/li>\n<li>Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to wait to add the crostini and cheese until you reheat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classic French Onion Soup with slow-cooked caramelized sweet onions, crisp baked crostini, and plenty of smooth melting Gruy\u00e8re Cheese.
