Once you try this classic French Onion Soup recipes, you'll never try another. It culminates in a rich-tasting soup with melt-in-your-mouth onions. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
4 cups thinly vertically sliced walla walla or other sweet onion |
4 cups thinly vertically sliced red onion |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
8 cups less-sodium beef broth |
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
8 (1-ounce) slices french bread, cut into 1-inch cubes |
8 (1-ounce) slices reduced-fat, reduced-sodium swiss cheese (such as alpine lace) |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions to pan; sauté for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in sugar, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium; cook 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Increase heat to medium-high, and sauté for 5 minutes or until onion is golden brown. Stir in wine, and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and thyme; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours.
2. Preheat broiler.
3. Place bread in a single layer on a baking sheet; broil 2 minutes or until toasted, turning after 1 minute.
4. Place 8 ovenproof bowls on a jelly-roll pan. Ladle 1 cup soup into each bowl. Divide bread evenly among bowls; top each serving with 1 cheese slice. Broil 3 minutes or until cheese begins to brown.
