French Onion Soup

I wonder what to write about this soup, if you haven’t tried it, do so, it’s extremely good! It immediately became one of our favorite dishes. If you eat it with bread, it is quite enough for a smaller main course

  • 2-3 dcl dry white wine

  • 1 clove of garlic

Instructions - French Onion Soup

  1. Wash and peel all onions and cut into half rings. Heat a 3-4 table spoons of oil and about 20 g of butter in a large pot. Add all chopped onions. It will seem that there is way too much onion, but there is no need to worry, it will lose its volume dramatically. Season with salt, keep stirring and cook for about 30 minutes until they get nice brown color
  2. When the onion is ready – quite brown in color, add about 2-3 dcl of white wine and mix well. Then add the flour (1-2 spoons) and mix well again.
  3. Pour in 1 liter of boiling water and throw in vegetable broth cube, or use a liquid vegetable broth if you have some
  4. Add few bay leaves, thyme and rosemary. Let it cook for about 20 minutes.
  5. At the very end, season to taste (salt/pepper). Do not salt too early, because a lot of water evaporates during cooking and the soup could eventually become way too salty.
  6. Crush the garlic through garlic press into a small bowl and mix it with a spoonful of olive oil. Toast the sliced bread and pour the garlic oil on it. Place the soup in the bowls and sprinkle with grated Gruyère. Serve with the garlic toasts. (If you want to be very proper, cut the bread into smaller pieces, put them on top of the soup, then cover with grated Gruyère cheese and bake in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted)
