How To Make french onion soup

Step 1

Melt butter in large pot; add thyme, garlic, bay leafs, onions and salt & peper. Sautee to caramalize the onions, about 30-45 minutes.

Step 2

Once onions are caramalized, remove bay leafs. Add beef consomme, bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until beef consomme has reduced by half.
Step 3

Sprinkle with flour and stir. Keep heat low and cook for 10 mins to cook out the flour flavor. Add beef broth to desired consistancy; simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4

Once ready to serve, spoon soup into individual oven safe bowels. Add croutons and shredded gruyere cheese. Heat broiler to high. Place bowls on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Place under broiler for 3 minutes until gold and bubbly.
