French Onion Soup recipes.

[KidWalleye]

There is a sports bar in burnsville that has the best soup I have had. I'm trying to get as close to it as I can. Also what type of cheese do most people put on top? I'm gonna try and have it ready for the game tomorrow.

Thanks, Jeremy

I like to use veal and beef stock for the soup base. The beef stock I usually make with marrow bones, the veal stock from veal scraps. In any case make sure you degrease your stock (i.e. cool it until the fat solidifies and then throw the fat out).

For the onion. Sautee a bunch of yellow onions in unsalted butter with thyme (3-4 fresh sprigs), bay leaf and an optional couple of cloves of garlic. Sautee until you get the degree of carmalization that you want. Then deglaze the pan with red wine, sherry, or cognac or some combination. Next add the stock and season with salt and pepper (remove thyme, bay leaf) and heat.

To serve, ladle the soup into bowels, top with cruton (toasted slice of french bread), and add some shreaded gruyere cheese. Place under broiler until cheese melts. I like add a small curl of parmesan at the end.

oh I tell you what, I love french onion soup! Can get a little ripe in the homestead a few hours afterwards but well worth it

One place I worked used gruyere and parmesian cheese. Most use a slice of swiss and a slice of provolone with some homemade crutons to "float" the cheese...

I came up with French Onion Chicken at one restaurant I worked that was hit when we ran it...

Pound out a chicken breast till its fairly thin then season it with salt, pepper, n cajun seasoning. Now flour it and pan sear in a little olive oil and butter. Then place it into a bakeing dish and plop a big scoop of the onions from the french onion soup on top of the breast. Then top it with your cheese and pop it into the broiler till the cheese melts and browns. The chicken should be just done, juicy and tender...

That just sounds way too good! Thanks for the idea!

I did the applebee's recipe from above there, but I must have messed it up or missed something, mine turned out very bland. Wonder if it was my broth or something. But I will say that the provolone cheese is a must

I made the applebee's recipe the other day and it turned out good, exept I made the broth a little salty. That was a good recipe, simple and tastey.

man, I don't know what I did, gonna have to try it again. Mine just didn't have that type of flavor, maybe I underseasoned or something

I like using the french onion mix and mixing it with cream of mushroom soup and putting it over pork chops then baking it, mmmmm
