French Onion Soup
French Onion Soup Ingredients 8 - 12 onions Tbsp vegetable oil 1/4 cup flour 4 - 6 cups beef broth (vegetable broth works) salt pepper 1/2 Tbsp dried thyme 2 bay leaves 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 200 g of Gruyere cheese Toasts 1/2 day old baguette pepper olive oil Method Caramelize the onions with the oil (in a pot big enough for whole soup) Add flour and cook 2 minutes Add broth, thyme, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste While the soup cooks, slice and sprinkle the bread with pepper and olive oil Toast the sprinkled breads Assemble the soup in oven-safe ramekins (assembly order from bottom to top is: soup, cheese, toasts, cheese) Broil until the top cheese is bubbly and coloured Notes I always make extra toasts with cheese on them that don't go into the broiled soups. I serve these on the side and dip them into the soup.
