Recipe Summary French Onion Soup With Port Wine
This soup is delicious and rich. We like it best on cold days. You can use more or less broth depending on how thick you like your French Onion Soup. Also try making with a Chardonnay as a delicious variation.Ingredients | Sandhi Chardonnay 20153 tablespoons butter3 tablespoons olive oil6 white onions, sliced into thin rings1 clove garlic, minced1 pinch salt1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper1 tablespoon brown sugar1 tablespoon dried thyme⅓ cup port wine1 (32 ounce) carton beef stocksalt and ground black pepper to taste5 slices French bread5 slices Swiss cheese¼ cup shredded Parmagiano-Reggiano cheeseDirectionsMelt the butter with the olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion slices and garlic to the pot; season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook the onions in the oil mixture until caramelized, stirring every 10 minutes to keep from browning too quickly, about 1 hour.Stir the brown sugar and thyme into the caramelized onions; allow the sugar to melt into the onion mixture, about 2 minutes. Pour the wine over the onions and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; continue simmering another 5 minutes. Add the beef stock; cook together another 10 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if desired.Preheat the oven's broiler.Ladle the soup into 5 oven-safe crocks arranged onto a baking sheet.
