hormar<p>Simple French Onion Soup</p><p>Ingredients:</p><p> 2 tablespoons unsalted butter<br> 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil<br> 4 large onions, sliced thin<br> 1 tablespoon dry sherry<br> 4 cups low-sodium beef broth<br> 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh thyme<br> 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<br> 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt<br> 1/4 teaspoon black pepper<br> 2 (1/2 inch thick) slices French bread, cut into small cubes (about 1 cup)</p><p>For the topping:</p><p> 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese<br> 4 (1/2 inch thick) slices French bread<br> 4 slices Gruyere cheese</p><p>Instructions</p><p> In a large stock pot, melt butter and oil over medium heat.<br> Add the onions and sit well to coat in the butter and oil. Cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes, until browning, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook for an additional 1 hour on medium or medium low, stirring occasionally. (You want the onions to get extremely soft and tender and a deep, rich brown color but not burn.)<br> Add the sherry and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow some of it to evaporate.<br> Add the broth, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper. Stir well. Add the cubed bread and stir to incorporate.<br> Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer on medium low for 30 minutes.<br> For serving: Carefully transfer the soup to individual ramekins or individual tureens or small oven-proof bowls. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded Swiss cheese. Add the slice of French bread on top, then top the bread with Gruyere cheese.<br> Broil on high heat, about 3-4 inches from the heat source, for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted, being careful not to let it burn. Serve immediately.<br> (Alternatively, you can place the bread slices on a foil lined baking sheet, top with Gruyere cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes, until melted. Sprinkle the soup bowl with Swiss cheese and serve with the broiled bread slice on top.)</p><p><a href="https://lor.sh/tags/french" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>french</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/onion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onion</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/soup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soup</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/recipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recipe</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/recipes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recipes</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/foodie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foodie</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/foodphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foodphotography</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/delicious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>delicious</span></a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/yummy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yummy</span></a></p>
