Sedona Orchards' French Onion Soup image

This is classic French Onion soup with a twist. The recipe comes from the Orchard's restaurant in Sedona, Arizona. It's a big recipe but obviously can be cut down.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs onions, julienne cut (about 9 large)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white wine
8 cups beef consomme
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
8 slices sourdough bread
8 slices swiss cheese
1 dash Worcestershire sauce (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, saute onions in butter until brown.
  • Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and white wine. Stir constantly until mixture is reduced by about 80 percent. Watch carefully that it doesn't turn to caramel!
  • Add reduction to large pan with beef consomme.
  • Bring to a boil and stir in the sauted onions, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer for 30 minutes.
  • For maximum flavor, this soup is better if you immediately cool and then reheat just before serving.
  • To serve, spoon 6 to 8 ounes of soup in an ovenproof bowl, place a slice of sourdough bread over the soup and sliced swiss cheese over the bread.
  • Place under broiler until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately.
