French Onion Soup Recipe-2

Cooking Steps 1. Slice the onions thinly along the grain. This helps them retain texture even after prolonged cooking. 2. Heat a pot with butter and olive oil, add the sliced onions, and sauté over medium-low heat until softened. 3. Continue to cook over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until the onions are soft and deep brown (caramelized). Add a little water if it gets too dry to prevent burning. 4. Sprinkle in flour and stir well to combine. Then, pour in white wine and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. 5. Add beef stock and bay leaf, cover with a lid, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. Finally, season with salt and black pepper. 6. Pour the cooked onion soup into heat-resistant bowls. Top with slices of French bread and shredded cheese, then bake in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and stringy.
