Recipe: French onion soup

The 12 first courses lunch
April 04, 2011


OnionsI wanted to serve also a soup during the 12 first courses lunch, but but I knew that my guests like strong flavors, so I chose my own version of the famous French onion soup: maybe it's not light and healthy as other soups, but it's really tasty.


This is a recipe from the 12 first courses lunch, so the doses are for small samples. Keep that in mind if you are considering only one first course.

Ingredients
Serves four:
400 onions
30g butter
150ml vegetable broth
1/2 glass white wine
50g grated parmesan
50g emmenthal cheese
black pepper
4 baguette slices

Directions
Cut the onions into thin slices. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the onions and cook over low heat 1 hour.
Add wine and broth and let it evaporate a bit.
Pour into four individual ramekins. Cover with a slice of toasted bread, grated parmesan and sliced emmenthal. Bake in preheated 200° C (392 F) oven 10 minutes.
Serve hot with grinded black pepper.

A tip
You can cook the onions the day before and put the soup into the individual bowls. Anyway, put the slices of bread and cheese just before baking.
