So you go and search for a recipe for French onion soup, and you go buy all the stuff to make it, you get all excited only to find out that it's trash. Just a pool of nasty half raw onion floating in grey dishwater. Well, that's because most recipes you see online are full of lies! yes lies! And I'm going to tell you why.
Done correctly, French onion soup is AMAZING. You get the deep richness of the broth, and the sweet sweet taste of those caramelised onions. And in my recipe, we are going to use 3 different types of onion. Brown onion, red onion and shallots. They all have different flavours which is just going to add layers to your French onion soup. Also, I'm going to switch it up with the cheese, as usually you'd use Gruyere, but today I wanted to enhance the Frenchiness and so I used Comte. Comte is really nice cheese, it's salty and nutty, deeply savoury, which is what you want to counter the sweetness of the onions.
French onion soup is actually very easy to make, it just takes a long time. You cannot shortcut this recipe. The onions need to be cooked long and slow to get them fully cooked and nicely caramelised. This and using decent stock, is key to a good French onion soup. You don't have to make your own stock, but use the best pre made you can buy.
To make my French onion soup you will need:
►1kg of onions (About equal amounts of regular brown onion, red and banana shallots)
►1 litre of good quality beef stock
►2 garlic cloves finely chopped
►250ml of white wine
►A shot of brandy (optional)
►Small bunch of fresh thyme
►2 bay leaves
►Enough croutons or toast to cover your soup bowl/bowls (it's better to portion the soup individually rather than one giant one like I did)
►1 garlic clove sliced to rub on the toasts
►Plenty of Comte cheese, about 200g
►Salt & pepper
►Knob of butter
►About 2 tbsp of olive oil
