French Onion Soup Recipe





Preparation time: About 1 hour.





INGREDIENTS


6 large red onions, peeled and thinly sliced.


Olive oil


1/4 teaspoon of sugar


2 cloves garlic, minced


8 cups of beef stock or chicken stock


1 bay leaf


1/4 teaspoon of dry thyme


Salt and pepper


8 slices of toasted French bread


1 1/2 cups of grated Swiss Gruyere with a little grated Parmesan cheese


METHOD


1 In a large saucepan, saut茅 the onions in the olive oil on medium high heat until well browned, but not burned, about 30 minutes. Add the sugar about 10 minutes into the process to help with the carmelization.


2 Add garlic and saut茅 for 1 minute. Add the stock, bay leaf, and thyme. Cover partially and simmer until the flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.


3 To serve you can either use individual oven-proof soup bowls or one large casserole dish. Ladle the soup into the bowls or casserole dish. Cover with the toast and sprinkle with cheese. Put into the broiler for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until the cheese bubbles and is slightly browned. Serve immediately.


Serves 4-6.
Easy French Onion Soup





3 tablespoons butter


4 cups thinly sliced onions, about 4 to 5 medium onions


4 cans condensed beef broth (10 1/2 ounces each)


4 slices French bread, 1 inch thick


4 tablespoons cup shredded Gruyere cheese


2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese





In a large skillet over medium low heat, melt butter. Saute onion until golden in color, about 8 minutes. In a medium saucepan, combine beef broth and saut茅ed onion; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toast French bread on both sides under broiler; sprinkle each slice evenly with cheeses; broil just until cheese is bubbly. Pour French onion soup into 4 individual soup bowls; float a slice of toasted French bread, cheese side up, on each bowl of soup.
If you already have a recipe that you like but it calls for wine then you can substitute an equal amount of beef broth to replace the wine OR you can substitute an equal amount of grape juice with 2 tablespoons of vinegar (I'd use white vinegar or red wine vinegar).






Obviously the secret to this soup are the onions.It will take a couple of times to perfect.Saute them long and slow until they're caramellized,not burnt.Made corrrectly it is a wonderful soup.


Good luck at school.
