French onion soup recipe


I made this enjoyable onion soup last week-end as starter before an enormous mussels dish, mussels mariniere. This is the perfect soup with the current weather here in Switzerland. Rainy day after rainy day, we can unfortunately see that fall is way behind us and yes this is winter. I was feeling like eating a warm soup with high calorific value.

With this soup high calorific value means a lot of calories as well. But well-balanced diet is not about eating only low-fat products. Honestly this soup will warm you enough to find the courage of going for a walk after diner.

This is a relatively easy recipe, but you might want to put your snow mask on to cut all these onions ! This is really working ! Even if you look quite stupid in your kitchen, this is a guaranteed result !

    This with enourmous mussels sounds great to keep warm now that the cold is really arriving! The soup is so cute in this pot 🙂

      Hello Gina,
      1 dl. = 10 cl. = 3.33 fl.oz. This is the answer you were looking for? Natacha.

      Hello Margot. I would rather be in summer… :-). Coming from south of France, winter in Switzerland is always an ordeal. Unfortunately I cannot do anything about that. Anyway today is a beautiful day. Think I will pickup a sandwich and eat outside for lunch with a warm coat of course :-).

    That soup/photography looks gorgeous and I really like the serving vessel. I actually keep telling my girlfriend I’m going to make her French Onion Soup(She’s never had it). Coming across this recipe seems like a cosmic sign to get up and make it happen. I do believe I’ve always had it with a beef stock, and seeing as I have about 2 quarts of beef stock in the freezer I’m probably going to use that instead of chicken. Cheers for the recipe.

    Delicious! Try this (quantity for 3.5 pints/2 litres of liquid): Mix an egg yolk, 1tsp cornflour, 1tsp Worcester sauce and 3 tbl of Cognac together. Just before serving lift the edge of the gratineed crouton and remove a soup ladleful of soup to a bowl. Beat the soup in the bowl while letting the egg yolk/cognac mixture run into it in a thin stream. Beat another 2 ladlefuls of soup into the mixture. Lift the crouton again and pour the mixture back in, reach under with a fork and stir to distribute. I believe this is called ‘Soupe gratinee de trois gourmandes’. I prefer it made with beef stock rather than chicken and to gratinee it in individual pots then add this final touch.
