Three Onion Soup Gratinee image

DH was out of town on a business trip and came home raving about this soup. This soup is a wonderful combination of sweet onions (Vidalia work well when in season.), red onions and yellow onions. I was able to find this recipe posted on another web page. Hope you enjoy!

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 medium sweet onions, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
2 medium red onions, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 medium yellow onions, cut into 1/4 inch slices.
black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups beef stock, unsalted
3 1/2 cups chicken stock, unsalted
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
salt and pepper
8 slices baguette, cut 1/2 inch thick and toasted
1 1/2 cups gouda cheese, coarsely grated

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, melt butter oven medium-low heat.
  • Add all the onions along with 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  • Saute until onions turn a nice golden brown or caramelize, about 25 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from sticking to the pan.
  • When onions are brown, add the flour and stir until it disappears.
  • Turn heat to medium-high and add both stocks and the thyme.
  • Bring to a boil, lower the heat to low, cover and cook until soup is slightly thickened and is a medium-brown in color.
  • This should take about 1-hour, taste and adjust seasonings as necessary for personal taste.
  • Preheat the broiler and ladle soup into broiler-proof bowls.
  • Place 1 slice of toast in each bowl and top with the cheese.
  • Heat under the broiler about 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbling.
  • Serve immediately.
