Easy French Onion Soup
Deeply caramelised onions in broth, topped with melted gruyere toast — the 40-minute caramelisation isn't optional; rushing it with high heat gives colour without the deep sweetness the soup depends on.
Ingredients
Instructions
Slowly caramelise the sliced onions in butter over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 40 minutes.
Continue until deeply golden and jammy.
Add the beef broth and simmer for 20 minutes to let the flavours combine.
Ladle into bowls, top with toasted baguette and grated gruyere, and grill until the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
