Classic French Onion Soup
One of my favorite classic soups is French Onion. To many people, it is intimidating, but I can assure you it is quick and easy. After making it at home, you will never want it out of a can or from your favorite steakhouse again!
Make your soup:
–> Melt 1/2 cup of butter and add 4 large sweet onions that have been sliced, 1 clove of minced garlic, 2 bay leaves, 1/2 tsp dried thyme and salt & pepper. Cook for 25 minutes until the onions have cooked and are soft.
–> Add 1 cup of red wine (nothing fancy, keep it cheap and simple). I have a bottle of Robert Mondavi Merlot that I keep on hand for cooking. Boil and reduce the heat. Simmer for 5 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
–> Remove your bay leaves.
–> Dust the onions with 3tbsp of all-purpose flour. Stir to coat the onions and cook on low for 10 mins.
–> Add 2 quarts of beef stock (I always buy low sodium). Simmer for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to your tastes.

Oh wow, Reesa, thanks for sharing! I think I may have to make some to have for myself and to freeze. The rest of my family hates onion but this would be awesome!
Yum! That sounds delicious Reesa! Thanks for sharing!
I love soups but never has French Onion before. Will have to try it.
This doesn’t sound too difficult. Now if I can gather all of the ingredients.
This Looks So Yummy!!! Must Try!!
I love French onion soup and this recipe looks delicious! I have never actually made it myself either, I can’t wait to try! It will be perfect for the cold weather. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
