A delightful and easy-to-make French Onion Soup recipe that brings rich flavors to your table in no time.
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
Use a sharp knife to ensure even slices, which helps in uniform caramelization.
Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; adjust the heat if necessary.
Add the onions to the pot and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Caramelizing onions slowly brings out their natural sweetness.
Pour in the white wine and let it reduce slightly.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate all the flavorful bits.
Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
Slice the baguette and toast the slices lightly.
Toasting enhances the bread's texture and prevents it from becoming soggy.
Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with a slice of toasted baguette and a slice of cheese.
Ensure the cheese covers the bread for an even melt.
Place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Serve the soup hot and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme for added aroma.
