Beef Onion Soup

I made this soup solely to utilize this hard French bread that I had. Hahaha... so I used a whole bag of onions to essentially save some croutons. Well worth it.

The best French Onion Soup.

My dad taught me this recipe, yes, it is a bit time consuming, but so worth every minute!!

I am not sure where this recipe came from (it is typewritten on a recipe card that belonged to my mother), but it is one of my youngest daughter's favourites. It has been modified slightly from the original recipe.

What's the story behind this recipe?

This onion soup was excellent. I made some baguettes and cut one into slices to use it on top of the soup and cover them with gruyere cheese. I ended up melting the cheese in the oven. Of course, you can use your favorite cheese.

My neighbor told me onion soup is a great homeopathic remedy to fighting off colds/flus. So I made this.

This was passed to me from my dad's wife. So I just tweaked it a touch to my liking! Great winter soup. So easy to make and freaking awesome!!!!

also a cool idea is to fry an onion ring instead of bread and melt the cheese on top of it

Warm and comforting for cold days 🥣If you don't have vegetable broth, you can add a vegetable bouillon cube to a quart of water.

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.

yummy

I love the sweetness of onions.Cut onions against the grain to break the fiber. If you don't do this, the onion will not have a soft texture.It burns easily when you sauté with butter, so please stir constantly.If you put bread and cheese on top of the soup and brown it in the oven, it will turn into onion gratin soup!

A delicious but, a little on the sweet side, soup. Very delicate flavoured with the flavours layered. My son-in-law said to jar it and sale it.

Had a taste for this soup earlier in the week. So I decided to make this for a fall Sunday lunch.

It’s probably the most loved and popular French recipe worldwide! Watch full recipe video at: https://youtu.be/yWb4ygzX77I

My hubby loves this soup. I wanted to make a restaurant-style soup at home easily. It tastes better after you let it rest, so I always make a lot of it!Heat and cool it down several times. Letting the soup cool down during the cooking process gives the flavors more depth.Make sure to let the bread and cheese brown in the oven.The soup tastes better with beef fat.

Red onions are our favorites. Frying the onions in butter or olive oil gives the soup its flavor. Frying the peels gives the soup its color. Use a cast iron soup pot or cast iron skillet that you can slide under the oven broiler to roast the sliced bread and cheese on top.

Good winter's dish to warm up.

My momma used to make the occasional grilled cheese with tomato soup; what chef Gordon Ramsay might know as 'comfort food'.Here near the borderlands, with the occasional drought, a can of campbell's French Onion Soup mixed with Campbell's tomato juice can alleviate the water issues.I topped it off with pan fried sliced white bread soaked in homemade pink cheese whiz. The reason it was pink was the Himalayan salt I used.
