Curried Onion Soup image

"To make this comforting soup a carefree dinner and deepen its rich flavors, we started on the stove and ended in the crock-pot. We have fused the best of two cuisines, French and Thai, into one fantastic soup!" I saw this on a Taste of Thai newsletter and it sounded very interesting - it would be too spicy for the resident's here at the home, so I decided to post here for safekeeping.

Time 4h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry sherry
4 1/2 lbs onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon browning sauce, such as Kitchen Bouquet
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon red curry paste
8 -10 toasted french bread rounds (stale or toasted bread works best)
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
2 (10 ounce) cans beef consomme

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large soup pot over a medium high heat.
  • Add onions and sugar.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions turn a deep brown (but not burned), about 20-25 minutes.
  • Add curry paste and stir until dissolved into onions.
  • Add 1 can beef broth.
  • Mix until any browned bits on pot bottom are released.
  • Add remaining can of beef broth, consomme, sherry and browning sauce.
  • Stir and bring just to a boil.
  • Pour into crock-pot.
  • Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
  • Alternatively, soup can be simmered on stove for 1-2 hours.
  • Serve soup as is, or topped with bread rounds.
  • Top bread with a generous portion of cheese.
  • For a dramatic effect, serve soup in individual ovenproof bowls and broil 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts.
  • Watch carefully so cheese does not burn.
