Every weather is french onion soup weather. A staple in many bistro’s in France. With a good beef broth and fresh thyme, the caramelized onions just melt in your mouth harmoniously. A delicious soup but the best part is the molten gruyere bubbling away on top of the crunchy baguette croutes. Note: make sure you use an oven-safe bowl or ramekin.

2 ea. Bay Leaf

Step 1

Slice onions into 1/4 inch thick. In a large pot heat up oil and start sautéing until it becomes golden brown. Cook down for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally. Frequently deglaze the pan with a small amount of water.

Step 2

When the onions are deep brown and cooked down we will add garlic, thyme, flour and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add Beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, and salt & pepper. Bring soup up to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes.

Preheat broiler for our bread.
