Traditional French Onion Soup - Topped with crispy cheese croutons
This traditional French onion soup is a true classic that warms the soul and makes you simply happy. As a hobby cook with a weakness for French cuisine, I love the combination of caramelized onions and the hearty, melted cheese topping. It is a wonderfully wholesome dish that, despite its sophisticated appearance, is surprisingly quick and easy to prepare. You don't need complicated processed products, just a few good, fresh ingredients and some patience when gently sautéing the onions so they can develop their full, natural sweetness. The crowning glory is the crispy cheese croutons that perfectly round off the aromatic broth. Don't be afraid to try this recipe; it's child's play, guaranteed to succeed, and brings a little piece of Paris right into your kitchen. Grab your wooden spoons and let's conjure up this French dream together – you will love it!
Ingredients
Preparation
Peel the onion (3), cut into fine rings and caramelize until golden brown in the butter (20 g) over medium heat – this takes some patience!
Dust the flour (10 g) over the onions and sauté briefly while stirring.
Pour in the vegetable broth (400 ml) and let the soup simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the baguette (2 slices) and finely grate the Gruyère cheese (50 g).
Pour the soup into an ovenproof dish, top with the bread slices and spread the cheese over them.
Bake in a preheated oven using the grill function until the cheese is golden brown and beautifully melted.
