Anyone have a good recipe for french onion soup?

The trick to a great French onion soup is starting with good stock. French onion soup is usually made with beef stock. I've made delicious soup with stock from the leftover rib bones of a rib roast. Another important element is the proper caramelization of the onions. Caramelizing onions take at least thirty minutes of slow cooking the onions over medium high heat. The browning, or caramelizing, of the onions brings out the sweetness in them.





Preparation time: About 1 hour.





6 large red onions, peeled and thinly sliced.


Olive oil


1/4 teaspoon of sugar


2 cloves garlic, minced


8 cups of beef stock [I HIGHLY reccommend Minors. Order Online at http://www.soupbase.com/view.asp?cid=237鈥?/a>


1/2 cup of dry white wine


1 bay leaf


1/4 teaspoon of dry thyme


Salt and pepper


8 slices of toasted French bread


1 1/2 cups of grated Swiss Gruyere with a little grated Parmesan cheese





1 In a large saucepan, saut茅 the onions in the olive oil on medium high heat until well browned, but not burned, about 30 minutes. Add the sugar about 10 minutes into the process to help with the carmelization.





2 Add garlic and saut茅 for 1 minute. Add the stock, wine, bay leaf, and thyme. Cover partially and simmer until the flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.





3 To serve you can either use individual oven-proof soup bowls or one large casserole dish. Ladle the soup into the bowls or casserole dish. Cover with the toast and sprink with cheese. Put into the broiler for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until the cheese bubbles and is slightly browned. Serve immediately.

INGREDIENTS


1/4 cup butter


3 onions, thinly sliced


1 teaspoon white sugar


1 tablespoon all-purpose flour


2 1/2 cups water


1/2 cup red wine


2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed beef broth


1 French baguette


8 ounces sliced Swiss cheese











DIRECTIONS


Melt butter or margarine in a 4 quart saucepan. Stir in sugar. Cook onions over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.


Stir in flour until well blended with the onions and pan juices. Add water, wine, and beef broth; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover soup, and simmer for 10 minutes.


Cut four 1 inch thick slices of bread from the loaf. Toast the bread slices at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) just until browned, about 10 minutes. Reserve the remaining bread to serve with the soup.


Ladle soup into four 12 ounce, oven-safe bowls. Place 1 slice toasted bread on top of the soup in each bowl. Fold Swiss cheese slices, and fit onto toasted bread slices. Place soup bowls on a cookie sheet for easier handling.

French Onion Soup


Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence








1/2 cup unsalted butter


4 onions, sliced


2 garlic cloves, chopped


2 bay leaves


2 fresh thyme sprigs


Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


1 cup red wine, about 1/2 bottle


3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour


2 quarts beef broth


1 baguette, sliced


1/2 pound grated Gruyere





Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.


When you're ready to eat, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the slices with the Gruyere and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.





Ladle the soup in bowls and float several of the Gruyere croutons on top.





Alternative method: Ladle the soup into bowls, top each with 2 slices of bread and top with cheese. Put the bowls into the oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese.

    August Moon Chinese Bistro, Louisville, Kentucky
    Chinese Hot-and-Sour Soup


    Servings: Makes 6 to 8 first-course servings.





    Ingredients:


    5 oz boneless chicken, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips (2/3 cup)


    2 teaspoons dark soy sauce*


    4 small Chinese dried black mushrooms*


    12 small dried tree ear mushrooms*


    1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch


    12 dried lily buds* (sometimes called golden needles)


    1/2 cup canned sliced bamboo shoots*, cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-wide strips (from an 8-oz can)


    2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar


    2 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)


    1 tablespoon light soy sauce*


    1 1/2 teaspoons sugar


    1 teaspoon kosher salt


    2 tablespoons peanut oil


    4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth


    3 to 4 oz firm tofu (about a quarter of a block), rinsed and drained, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips


    2 large eggs


    2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil*


    1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper


    2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion greens


    2 tablespoons fresh whole cilantro leaves





    Preparation:


    Toss chicken with dark soy sauce in a bowl until chicken is well coated.


    Soak black and tree ear mushrooms in 3 cups boiling-hot water in another bowl (water should cover mushrooms), turning over black mushrooms occasionally, until softened, about 30 minutes. (Tree ears will expand significantly.) Cut out and discard stems from black mushrooms, then squeeze excess liquid from caps into bowl and thinly slice caps. Remove tree ears from bowl, reserving liquid, and trim off any hard nubs. If large, cut tree ears into bite-size pieces. Stir together 1/4 cup mushroom-soaking liquid (discard remainder) with cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside.





    Meanwhile, soak lily buds in about 1 cup warm water until softened, about 20 minutes, then drain. Trim off tough tips of lily buds. Cut lily buds in half crosswise, then tear each half lengthwise into 2 or 3 shreds.





    Cover bamboo shoots with cold water by 2 inches in a small saucepan, then bring just to a boil (to remove bitterness) and drain in a sieve.





    Stir together vinegars, light soy sauce, sugar, and salt in another small bowl.





    Heat a wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Pour peanut oil down side of wok, then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat sides. Add chicken and stir-fry until chicken just changes color, about 1 minute, then add black mushrooms, tree ears, lily buds, and bamboo shoots and stir-fry 1 minute.





    Add broth and bring to a boil, then add tofu. Return to a boil and add vinegar mixture. Stir cornstarch mixture, then add to broth and return to a boil, stirring. (Liquid will thicken.) Reduce heat to moderate and simmer 1 minute.





    Beat eggs with a fork and add a few drops of sesame oil. Add eggs to soup in a thin stream, stirring slowly in one direction with a spoon. Stir in white pepper, then drizzle in remaining sesame oil and divide among 6 to 8 bowls. Sprinkle with scallions and cilantro before serving.

    The zero calorie, no points soup?..Just add vegetable stock to a pot--and add in water and as many different veggies as you want and let simmer--There is no one way to make it--experiment--otherwise you will go nuts from boredom of eating/drinking the same soup over and over--stick to the same formula but add different spices or herbs--throw in basil leaves and dashes of oregano and parsley, etc..black pepper, salt--to change up the taste..Good Luck...

    STUFFED PEPPER SOUP





    2 lbs ground beef


    1 lg onion chopped


    5 green peppers, chopped


    Brown the above ingredients and drain well. Now add:


    6 cans of Tomato Soup and 5 soup cans of water


    1 can of beef broth %26amp; 1 broth can of water


    2 tsp of Brown Sugar


    2 small cans of Tomato Sauce


    3/4 cup of uncooked white rice





    Simmer on low until the rice is cooked. You may eventually want to add about another cup or so of water, if the soup gets too thick.





    (I've doubled this recipe and frozen a portion of it. When I go to use the frozen batch, I added a can of beef broth and another can of tomato soup. It just seemed that after it was frozen it was really thick!)Recipe for stuffed pepper soup?
    1 pound ground sirloin


    1 green bell pepper, chopped


    1 cup finely diced onion


    1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes


    1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce


    1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth


    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme


    1/4 teaspoon dried sage


    salt and pepper to taste


    1 cup white rice





    DIRECTIONS


    In a large stock pot brown ground meat. Drain fat and add pepper and onion. Cook until onion is translucent, not letting them brown.


    Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, thyme, sage and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, until peppers are tender.


    In another saucepan boil 2 cups water, and add rice. Cook until rice is tender and then add to soup. Heat soup through and serve.





    Don't Think of adding the rice to the soup %26amp; letting it cook in the broth.it will rather absorb all the liquid, and the recipe wouldn't be soup anymore. It will turn out more like a stew.
