Ingredients
- 4 yellow onions large, thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp thyme leaves chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups beef broth
- 4 slices Baguette toasted
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese grated
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and thyme to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Season the onions with salt and pepper, then pour in the white wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
- Add the beef broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Preheat the broiler in your oven. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of toasted baguette and a generous amount of grated Gruyere cheese.
- Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the French onion soup hot and enjoy!

French Onion Soup is a classic French dish made with caramelized onions, beef broth, white wine, and seasonings, typically topped with a slice of toasted bread and melted cheese, such as Gruyère.
Yes, French Onion Soup can be made ahead of time. After preparing the soup, let it cool, store it in an airtight container in the fridge, and reheat when ready to serve. The flavors often improve after resting.
Yellow onions are traditionally used for French Onion Soup due to their balance of sweetness and flavor. However, you can experiment with sweet onions for a milder taste or red onions for a sharper flavor.
es, you can substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian version of French Onion Soup. While the flavor profile may differ slightly, it will still be delicious.
Gruyère is the traditional cheese used for French Onion Soup due to its excellent melting properties and rich, nutty flavor. Other cheeses like Swiss or mozzarella can also be used if Gruyère is unavailable.
To caramelize onions, cook them slowly in butter or oil over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30-45 minutes until they turn golden brown and sweet. This step is key to developing the soup’s deep, rich flavor.
French Onion Soup is traditionally served with a crusty baguette or toasted bread topped with cheese. A light green salad and some crusty bread on the side also complement the rich, savory soup.










Yea, this was alright. I think it’s overrated honestly. Just soup and cheese??? 3 stars.
This recipe is a game changer! I finally got the caramelized onions right. Makes my home smell amazing! 🍲❤️
I dunno, the broth was kinda bland, even with all that wine. Needs more seasoning, I think!
This soup is a game changer! I never thought I could make something so delicious at home. The caramelized onions are everything!
I totally agree! Caramelized onions really do bring out the flavor. Can’t wait to try this myself!
So cheesy! Love it! This recipe is a keeper. I just wish it were easier to clean the pot afterward!
Cleaning pots is always a pain! I use baking soda and water overnight; it helps a lot. Love this soup tho!
This soup was spectacular! The caramelized onions make all the difference. Highly recommend!
I totally agree! The onions are the star of the show in this recipe. I added some crispy bacon bits, and it was a game changer!
Sounds good but I don’t like wine in my soup. Can’t it be made without it? Can’t imagine how that would taste.
Why does everyone love this so much? I found it kinda bland. I don’t get it.
Bland? Nah, it needs patient cooking. Without good caramelization, it won’t pop. Try again, maybe a splash more wine?!
I totally get what you mean! It can be hit or miss depending on how the onions are caramelized. Adding some extra spices might help next time!
I tried this but it didn’t turn out right. My onions burned a little and the broth was too salty. Can someone help?
Simple and delicious. But isn’t white wine in soup a bit odd? I don’t understand why you’d add that.
Heavenly! I used a mix of cheeses and it was the best thing I ever made. 10/10!
I love french onion soup, but a friend told me about a similar soup, but with garlic instead of onion, I really Love garlic, Might you have a recipe for such a soup
I didn’t have Gruyere so I used cheddar and it was still awesome! Cheers!!! 🎉
Yummy! But why do they call it French onion soup? Can anyone tell me?
I heard it’s called that because they put onions in it, not sure tho. 🤔
French onion soup got its name because it’s from France! It’s a classic dish. 😊
Okay soup. Not as good as the ones they serve at restaurants. I dunno, maybe I’m just picky.
Muy bien! Me encantó esta receta. La sopa de cebolla francesa es la mejor del mundo. Thanks for sharing✨
Uhm, why do you need to cook for so long? Ain’t nobody got that time! I just microwaved mine… lol.
I get it, time can be tight! But the flavor from the slow cooking is soooo worth it! Just microwave might not do it justice.
Lol, microwaving soup?? That’s like cheating! It’s all about the caramelized onions, trust me!
idk it was okay but i expected more flavor idk maybe i messed up ingredients?
Maybe try cooking the onions longer, that really helps with flavor in this soup! 🔥
I followed the recipe but my onions burnt! I think I cooked them too fast. Who knew onions could take so long? Not sure I’ll try again.
Delicious! My family loved it! I added some croutons for a crunch. Will make again!
French onion soup ain’t my thing. Just sayin’. But my mom loves it, so I guess it’s popular!
OMG, the cheese on top is just divine! I love how it gets all melty and gooey. Will definitely make again!
Totally agree! The cheese just makes it so much better. Can’t wait to make it this weekend!
I dunno, seems kinda easy, but what’s the deal with the wine? Is it really necessary? 🤔
Mmm, French onion soup! Reminds me of when I was in Paris. But does it have to be white wine? I used red because that’s all I had.
Eh, I think I prefer the can stuff… This homemade version just seemed like too much work.
I totally get what you mean! Sometimes easy is better, especially after a long day. But you gotta try it once! It’s so worth it… maybe!
Oh man, this is the real deal! Made it for my family and they devoured it. Will definitely be making again!
I’m so glad to hear that! French onion soup is one of my favorites too. It’s such a comfort food!
Looks good, but I’ve heard it takes too long to caramelize the onions. Is it really worth the wait?
French onion soup? More like French ONION disaster! 🤦♂️ it was bland and not worth the effort.
I tried this recipe but I think I did something wrong. My onions didn’t caramelize like they should’ve. It’s probably my fault but who has 40 minutes to stand around?
Don’t beat yourself up! Caramelizing onions can be tricky if you’re in a hurry. Maybe next time, try low and slow, or prep the onions a bit before! 😊
This looks yummy but I wish I had some of that fancy cheese. I can only find cheddar, will that work?
Cheddar is great, but it’s not the same as Gruyere! It’ll taste different, but still yummy!
Easy to follow but dang, why so much cheese? I actually liked it a bit less. Less is more right?
Wow, SO cheesy! I loved it, but my boyfriend thought it was too rich. Good for a cozy night in!
Amazing stuff! Can’t believe I waited so long to try making it myself. So worth it!
This soup is to die for! The caramelization of the onions takes time but it’s worth it. I can’t stop making it!
I followed the recipe exactly but mine ended up too salty. Maybe I used too much broth? Not sure if I’ll try again.
It was okay, but mine turned out too salty! Guess I added too much beef broth. 🤷♂️
Delicious! Very fancy meal for such little effort. My family loved it, thanks!
Used chicken broth instead of beef broth, still turned out great! Creative twist! 😂
I made this for a dinner party, and everyone loved it. Pro tip: use fresh thyme, it brings out the flavor!
Great recipe! The only thing I did differently was add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for depth. Will make again!
Nice touch with the Worcestershire sauce! I love adding my own spin on recipes. Can’t wait to try it myself!
I followed the recipe but it turned out kinda bland. Maybe I needed more salt? Not impressed.
Just 4 onions? I expected more. Is that really it? Seemed too simple…
Can I use chicken broth instead of beef? Don’t have beef on hand. TIA!
This is the best French onion soup I’ve ever made! The caramelized onions were perfect. 5 stars!
This soup was amazing! The caramelized onions really made it special. 5 stars!
I thought the baguette got too soggy under the cheese. Maybe toast it longer?
Nah, the sogginess is part of the charm! It’s like a cheese blanket for the soup! Haha. But to each their own.
I agree! I had the same issue. Toasting it longer really helps to keep it crispy. Other than that, this soup is fantastic!
Too much wine! I could barely taste the onions. Disappointed! 2/5.
