Onion Soup

Introduction

The best onion soup is made with a rich beef stock, which is why I recommend using homemade stock. However, if you don’t have any homemade and want to make this recipe as quickly as possible then use good quality canned or boxed beef stock instead.

Fry the onions in butter until they are translucent, but not brown. Cook gently for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes.

You want to cook the onions until they are cooked and translucent, but not brown. For this reason, it’s important that you don’t stir them too much or add too much butter. It can be helpful to put a lid on the pot while they are cooking so they sweat instead of fry—this will help keep them from burning and will allow them to cook more evenly without forming burnt spots that can turn bitter in the soup. If you have time, you can also cook your onions for an hour or more before adding any other ingredients.

Add the beef stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Season to taste. If you’re using a pinch of salt, use a pinch. If you’re using a teaspoon, use one teaspoon. The same goes for pepper: if you’re using 1/4 teaspoon of it, go ahead and do that! Don’t be afraid to just pour the whole container in there if that’s what your taste buds are asking for at this moment in time.

To serve pour into a bowl and add a slice of toasted French bread with either grated or sliced cheese on top. Swiss Gruyere is traditional, but I personally like Cheddar better as it has a stronger flavour, especially when it starts to melt into the soup.

Onion soup can be very easy to make, especially if you use some commercial beef stock. Onion soup is a classic French dish and one of the most popular soups in French cuisine. It’s made with beef stock and onions, along with cheese and bread crumbs in the form of croutons. It’s easy to make your own onion soup by using some commercial beef stock and making the croutons yourself. You can also use other cheeses such as Gruyere or Emmental instead of Comte cheese if desired.

Conclusion

Onion soup has been around for a long time and it is still very popular. There are different ways of making it, but the basic idea is the same. If you want to make an onion soup that tastes good and is easy to prepare, then this recipe should be just right for you!
