Ingredients
- 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 tsp FlavorBlvd French Onion Seasoning (more to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp flour
- ½ cup dry white wine (optional but recommended)
- 6 cups beef broth (or mix beef + chicken broth)
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 1½ cups shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
Instructions
1. Caramelize the Onions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring often, for 25–30 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized. Don’t rush this step—this is where the magic happens!
2. Build the Flavor
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the onions, cooking for another minute.
3. Deglaze
Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release all the delicious brown bits.
4. Add Seasonings
Stir in:
- FlavorBlvd French Onion Seasoning
- Broth
- Bay leaf
- Black pepper
Simmer for 15–20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Toast the Bread
Place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Toast until lightly crisp.
For extra flavor, brush with a little olive oil or butter.
6. Assemble & Broil
Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls.
Top each bowl with toasted baguette slices and a generous handful of shredded Gruyère.
Broil for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
