Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prep all your ingredients (this is always a good first step for a recipe so that you can know where everything is and not be running around trying to find butter or salt while your onion burn 🙂)
- 2
Place your butter in your Instant Pot and turn on the sauté setting. Allow butter to melt while gently stirring around with a wooden spoon or rice paddle.
- 3
Once butter is melted completely, add onions and sweetener. Make sure onions are completely coated in butter, and allow them to sauté for about 10 minutes (make sure to stir every minute or so to prevent burning, and make sure to leave the lid of your instant pot off)
- 4
Once onions are sautéed, add minced garlic and allow to cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Add salt, thyme, bay leaf, and pepper and 1/2 cup of beef broth, using a metal whisk to scrape the residue off the bottom of the pot.
- 5
Add remaining broth to onion mix and stir well. Place lid on instant pot and turn on manual or pressure cook, and set timer for 10 minutes. When timer is finished, release the pressure from the instant pot and leave lid on.
- 6
While soup is cooking, slice bread into 1 1/2 inch slices and arranged on baking sheet. Broil until golden brown and toasted.
- 7
Add all shredded cheese to a bowl and combine gently. Place cheese mixture onto toasted bread and return bread to over (turn broiler off!!! You don’t want to burn your cheese. You can leave the bread in the hot oven without it on, or I preheated the oven to 325 while the bread was in there so that my cheese would melt and I could make muffins afterward!)
- 8
Pour finished soup into soup crocks and place one slice of bread on top of each. Bread should soften before eaten.
- 9
Enjoy!!

Short Rib French Onion Soup Short Rib French Onion Soup
I made this recipe to give a dark rich French onion soup base, with an actual short rib per serving. Many recipes online give watery bland soups, with shredded beef that I think defeats the purpose of spending the time braising short ribs. I also think that adding flour to the soup to give it body mutes the flavor and turns it more to a stew or gravy. Instead, I found adding gelatin to give the soup body was a better choice. I also found that using cubed toasted sourdough instead of the traditional cross cut baguette provided a bread with more toothsome chew and fits in the crocks better.
