French Onion Soup
Ingredients:
Note: I rarely measure anything, I just COOK!
- Butter
- Sliced onions
- Salt
- Pepper
- White wine
- Flour
- Good beef broth (unsalted)
- Leftover gravy (optional)
- Slices of French bread
- Grated Gruyere cheese
Instructions:
- Melted some butter in a cast iron enamel Dutch oven.
- Added sliced onions, salt, and pepper.
- Cooked them down until golden and caramelized (45 mins or so).
- Deglazed the pot with some white wine.
- Added some flour to thicken and let cook a couple of mins before adding good beef broth (I use unsalted so I can control the salt).
- Also found some gravy leftover from a pot roast I made over the weekend so I threw that in too.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Let simmer 10 mins or so while I toasted some slices of French bread.
- Put the soup into bowls, topped with toasted French bread and grated Gruyere cheese.
- Put under broiler until cheese was melty and delish.
Lord hammercy it sure was good!
