This classic soup is truly a favorite at my house. Rich, satisfying and really easy to make, this soup will be a dinner favorite.
Ingredients
1 stick butter ( 8 tbsps )
8-10 medium onions, peeled and sliced
8 cups beef stock
3 sprigs thyme
3 sprigs rosemary
2-3 bay leaves
1 baguette, sliced
4 cups shredded comté cheese
Instructions
1
Heat a large stock pot and melt the butter. Add the sliced onions to the pot and on medium or medium low heat, caramelize the onions (this will take 30-45 minutes be patient).
2
Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef stock, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves bringing soup to a simmer and continue cooking for another 30 minutes. Remove the the sprigs and bay leaves from the soup. Remove from the heat.
3
Place 2-3 slices of the baguette in the bottom of the bowl and paddle some of the french onion soup into the bowl, top with a few more slices and finish with shredded cheese.
4
