Here’s an insight into the Classic French onion soup recipe

1. Collecting, slicing, and dicing
To make this hearty, delicious soup, you’ll need butter, onions, some beef stock, garlic, all-purpose flour, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper, brandy, and dry white wine. As for toppings, you’ll need French bread and Gruyere cheese.
Slice four to six large onions (about 3 pounds). The optimum cut size is between a quarter and an eighth of an inch. You don’t want them to be too thick because that way, they’ll resist getting caramelized. You don’t want them to be too think either because caramelizing them will perish them. Grab three cloves of garlic and mince them.

2. Cooking
Then, melt a quarter cup of butter into a large pot and put the heat on medium. In the pot of melted butter, add the onions and ½ tsp of salt and mix them. Cover it and let it cook for five to six minutes or until the onions are slightly softened.
Uncover it and check whether the onions are releasing water. If they’re releasing water, continue cooking on medium while stirring every few minutes for an hour. In case the onions start to burn, add a tablespoon of water to the mixture. You need to increase the stirring frequency towards the end of this recipe. Caramelizing onions takes time and rushing it won’t bring you pleasant results. When the caramelized mixture achieves a dark brown color, the job is done.
Now add the minced garlic as well as two tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir it constantly for a minute. Now it’s time to add the dry wine. You’ll need to add approximately 240mL of the wine slowly into the pot. After that, pour five to six cups of warm beef stock into the mixture of onions and wine. Next, add thyme sprigs, a bay leaf, and ½ tbsp. of freshly grounded black pepper. Simmer it on medium heat for about 20 minutes until it becomes velvety and rich. Add salt if the beef stock is unsalted. Finally, add 3 tbsp. of brandy and simmer it for a few more minutes.

3 Adding the toppings and broiling
Grate some Gruyere cheese, cut slices of a baguette, and find a batch of oven-safe bowls. Fill the bowls with the mixture, then top it with bread and add a handful of grated cheese and high broil for 2 minutes. Take out the bowls from the oven to enjoy the classic French onion soup recipe on a rainy afternoon.
