Caramelize some onions, add some beef broth, butter, herbs, and cheese—and voilà, you'll have the best bowl of French onion soup you've ever eaten!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 4-6 yellow onions, finely sliced
  • 1/4 tsp flour
  • 1/2 cup sherry
  • 5 cups beef broth
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of a crusty French baguette
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add onions to the pot and sprinkle with flour. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the onions are cooking too quickly, reduce heat.
  • When the onions are tender and golden in color, deglaze the pan with sherry.
  • Pour beef broth into the pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add herbs, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Butter slices of French bread and bake in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes until very dry. Set aside.
  • Remove herb stalks and bay leaf.
  • Ladle soup portions into four oven-safe ramekins. Top with crusty French bread and sprinkle with cheese. Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake uncovered at 400°F for 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is bubbling. Broil for 1 minute more to brown the top.
  • Serve warm.
