Becomes that. The French got a few things right. French onion soup is perfect for a cold, rainy day.

Is that jimmy dean sausage?

That doesn't look like it sucks!

Nice used to go to a Bar that made it ,Looked just like yours, was the best!

I love a good french onion soup, not everyone can make it.
Yours looks great.

Looks good Steelhead!
In this cold weather I also like a good bowl of homemade potato soup with some cheese & chunks of breakfast sausage in it.

Looks great, I love that stuff. Never could get it right myself. Got a recipe to share?

Martha Stewart has a good recipe.

Lol...toast, you cave dweller.

Melt half a stick of butter, low heat

Add 3 pounds of thinly sliced sweet onions and stir to cover with butter. Cover cast iron pot and let simmer about 15 minutes.

Remove cover and turn heat to medium/low and stir frequently for about 40 mins until onions are caramelized

Add salt/pepper/thyme to taste, 1 cup dry white wine and 8 cups of beef stock.

Simmer on medium for 40mins or so.

Put toasted slices of baguette in crock, fill with soup. Cover with cheese and broil. Most recipes call for gruyere cheese but I like provolone cheese and broil for a few minutes. All done.


Sometimes I make beef stock by cooking down beef bones for a day, sometimes I just use store bought beef stock.

We made that the other day in the Instant Pot.
It came out fabulous!
I put a venison neck roast in the Instant Pot and put in the remainder of the soup, and turned it on for 40 minutes.
After it was done the meat was pulled out and chopped up and added back to the soup.
Poured it over croutons with cheese on top and broiled for a few minutes.
It turned out great!

Looks good. Do you do carry out?

love the stuff.....

NICE! beats what I had for supper, a big ol giant elvis sandwich on homemade wheat bread, an apple, another banana and a quart of fresh cows milk.

Stir for 40 minutes?!

I’d lose interest.

No way man, have your Wife do it while you're sitting having coffee watching her hips wiggle. a woman cant stir anything without looking like they're wearing a hula-hoop/

lol

They just hot EE.

Scott thanks for this the pics made my mouth water and recipe is great I’m gonna try this!

Tomorrow. Ohh, yeah.

It's really easy. It is important to keep on top of those onions and stir till they are caramelized. Getting that right is key. You can add a little flour a few minutes prior to adding the liquids to slightly thinking. Just a little. I forgo it.

Peanut butter, Bacon, banana?

LOL, no bacon, take a big bread knife and slice you off a couple pieces from the loaf, toast them, throw one slice in the bottom of a big shallow bowl, cover it with about an inch tall layer of homemade peanut butter, slice up a banana or two on top, cover with the last piece of toast and mash it on good, grab a quart of milk and a fork, ate that with another banana and a big honey crisp apple.

Scott,

Your french onion soup looks like "Restaurant Soup".....you have more than one talent. Just add cooking to your list.

I'll be making that very soon.

I've been on a soup jag lately and bought a lifetime supply of Baguette's yesterday so I need another place to use them up.

Gotta get the right cheese first though.

I'm making clam chowder next week. That and the French Onion are the only soups I make, the wife does all the others. Her chicken soup is to die for.

You ought to see him shoot.

Blow me

Gonna have to try it! Looks great Scott!

Lol

Scott, your soup looks great. I'm sure it taste great too.
This is one of my favorite soups. It's always better on cold wet days.

Comfort foods.

Good looking soup!

Where's that darn Like button anyway?

Thanks for the recipe Scott.

Big fan, myself. Do you add a little Madeira wine to the soup before you add the bread and cheese, then into the oven? If not, try it.

A package of Knorr Au Ju makes for a quick & easy beef stock for French Onion Soup.

Good stuff there.

No kidding. I'm really looking forward to trying my hand at making a batch.
I even have a couple of those soup crocks that I bought at a yard sale ready and waiting.
Hope they're broiler safe.

Looks delicious Scott !

As you said, it's important to pay attention to your onions. Haven't done it in a long time.

Seems this week will work though !
