French Onion Soup 🧅
Cozy, rich and loaded with deeply caramelized onions, melty Gruyère and toasted baguette. This is one of those recipes that tastes like it took all day, but it’s actually so simple.
I made everything right in my Magnifique Claypot Multicooker, from caramelizing the onions to simmering the broth. I love being able to sauté and slow cook in the same pot, plus it’s made with kaolin clay without PFAS or chemical nonstick coatings.
Ingredients
4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp grass-fed butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp flour, optional
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 cups beef broth
Salt + pepper to taste
1 baguette, sliced
1–2 cups shredded Gruyère
Add the butter and olive oil to your pot, then add the sliced onions. Cook on sauté for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply golden.
Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaf and cook for another minute. If using flour, sprinkle it over the onions and stir.
Pour in the wine and scrape up all those browned bits from the bottom. Add the broth, season with salt and pepper and simmer for 30–40 minutes.
Toast your baguette slices until lightly crisp. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted baguette and plenty of Gruyère, then broil for 2–4 minutes until bubbly and golden.
