Soup Week: Day 1 - French Onion Soup

Warning... this is gonna be one of those recipes... nebulous... fuzzy... inexact... just make it with your heart... it will all come out fine 😘

French Onion Soup

A BUNCH of sliced onions (I did 4 shoulda done more... at least 6)

Butter

EVOO

Flour 

Beef broth

Salt

Pepper

Garlic

Thyme

Garnish:

Baguette slices

More butter

Shredded gruyere

[Preheat yer oven to 375.]

Sautee the onions in butter and EVOO until translucent.  Coat them with flour (maybe 1/4 cup). Cook until the flour is incorporated. 

Add beef broth.  I did 64 oz of broth made with those little bouillon cubes.... then I threw in 4 to 6 extra cubes to make it beefier. Salt... pepper... garlic... thyme... again let your soul determine how much. Cook the crud outta that.

While it's cooking up, butter the baguette slices. Top them with gruyere. Bake for 8 minutes. Then broil on Hi for 1 to 2 more minutes. 

Ladle soup into bowls and then float a couple of cheesy baguette slices on top of your soup. (For me a couple was four or five 😉). Enjoy!
