French onion soup

@foodmymuse French Onion Soup ❤️ back at the restaurant this was one of the most ordered items, I’ve tweaked it over the years and here it is! This soup yields 4 servings. ProTip: this soup is always better the next day! The balsamic adds a nice pop of acid and the maggi enhances the richness. Ingredients: •5 large onions (I used Vidalia). •1 large garlic clove. •2 tbsp butter. •1/4 tsp allspice. •1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. •1 tsp seasoned salt to taste. •3 sprigs fresh thyme (plus more for topping). •1 bay leaf. •2 tsp maggi jugo. •2 tsp balsamic vinegar. •2 cups good white wine. •8 cups good beef stock. •Sliced ciabatta. •gruyere to taste. •emmentaler to taste. •parmigiano to taste. •crushed red peppers. Directions: 1. Slice your onions thinly. 2. Add drizzle of olive oil to a preheated heavy bottomed pot. Add onions, don’t worry if they look like too much. Let them cook on medium high for 5-7 min or until they start softening. Don’t fret if they release their juices, they will reabsorb. 3. Once softened add your butter and let them caramelize for 45-50 min on medium heat, stirring often. 4. Add in maggi, balsamic, salt, pepper garlic, allspice, cayenne and thyme. Let them keep caramelizing for 15 more minutes. 5. Deglaze them with the wine, let it reduce by half. 6. Add in the 8 cups of stock and bayleaf. Simmer for 30 min.  7. Serve it, top with the toasted bread, plenty of cheese and broil for a couple minutes until melty and golden. Top with parmigiano, crushed red pepers and thyme. #frenchonionsoup #onionsoup #frenchonion #soupseason #easyrecipes #homecooking ♬ original sound – Nadia Aidi
