How To Make Mimi’s Cafe’s French Onion Soup
A classic French onion soup with rich caramelized onions, savory broth, and a layer of melted cheese.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 3 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices French bread
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
Instructions
-
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and stir to coat with the butter. Cook for 15 minutes or until the onions are caramelized and softened.
-
Add the flour and stir well to combine. Cook for 2 minutes.
-
Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Cook until the wine is almost evaporated, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the broiler. Ladle the soup into four ovenproof bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of French bread and a handful of Gruyere cheese.
-
Broil the bowls until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately.
