French onion soup. So rich, comforting and delicious. Don't skip the French bread baguette with lots of gruyere cheese on top. 

French onion soup. So rich, comforting and delicious. Don’t skip the French bread baguette with lots of gruyere cheese on top. This is definitely a family favorite!

From October to what feels like March, I am constantly searching for and making soup and all kinds of comfort food. I live in Wisconsin.

Leek and potato soup, kimchi fried rice, instant pot chicken ramen and chicken noodle soup, just to name a few, are staples in my house. And recently, my oldest discovered her love for French Onion Soup. Caramelized onions, bread and cheese in a soup . .  what could be better?! I hope you give this recipe a try. If you want to make your own stock, try this recipe.

French Onion Soup

Prep Time20 mins
Cook Time1 hr
Total Time1 hr 20 mins
Course: Soup
Servings: 6
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 pounds large yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup dry vermouth
  • 4 cups unsalted beef stock
  • 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 12 1/2-oz. slices whole-grain baguette or French bread baguette, sliced and toasted
  • 4 ounces gruyere cheese shredded (about 1 cup) + more if desired

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions; sauté for about 10 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for about 40 minutes or until golden-brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Add vermouth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in stocks; bring to a simmer. Stir in soy sauce and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Preheat broiler to high with rack in top position. Ladle soup into 6 broiler-safe soup bowls. Top each serving with 2 bread slices, and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Place soup bowls on baking sheet and broil for about 3 or 4 minutes or until tops are golden brown and cheese bubbles. Enjoy!
