Classic French Onion Soup
Classic French Onion Soup
"Best and Simplified version of Classic French onion soup extremely flavourful, caramelized onions are simmered and served with crunchy bread with cheesy toppings! Why It Is Called French Onion Soup? The first French onion soup was said to been created by king Louis the XV. The French king at the time supposedly came up with the recipe when he was hunting. The party was trapped in lodge for sometime with very little food, there were only butter and onions which were created into a soup."
NotesTips to make the best French onion soup:
Onions: Slice the onions thinly, Caramelization of the onions is the most import process in making of French onion soup. Stirring occasionally helps the onions not to burn/stick to the bottom of the pan.
Originally beef stock is used in making French onion soup, I used chicken stock to make it. Use home-made chicken stock for best results.
I have used flour in this recipe, once the flour is added, mix in quickly so that the flour is combined well to avoid lumps. Adding flour also gives your soup slightly creamier.
Traditional Gruyere cheese is added, it is not available in my region, therefore I added mozzarella.
Simmer: Simmer the soup adds great flavor to the soup with rich and bold flavors.
