French Onion Soup

A timeless bistro classic.

Makes six 1-cup servings

3

pounds yellow onions, peeled

½

cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1

teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1

teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

2

tablespoons unbleached, all-purpose flour

4

ounces dry sherry or brandy, divided

2

stems fresh thyme

2

bay leaves

6

cups beef or veal stock or broth

1

small baguette, cut into ½-inch slices

8

ounces Gruyère

1. Adjust the runway of the Cuisinart

®

Mandoline to the lower

position. Fit with the straight edge blade set to the ³∕

16

inch

position and slice the onions.

2. Melt the butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Once butter has

melted, add the onions, ½ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon

of the pepper. Cook over medium-low to medium heat until

caramelized, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Once onions have cooked, stir in the flour and cook for about 1

to 2 minutes. Stir in 2 ounces of the sherry or brandy with the

thyme and bay leaves and cook for a few minutes to reduce the

wine slightly. Add the stock and increase the temperature to

medium-high and bring the mixture just to a boil.

4. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer for about 50 minutes. Stir

in remaining sherry, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust

seasonings if necessary.

5. While soup is cooking, replace the straight edge blade with the

shredding blade and shred the Gruyère; reserve. Lightly toast the

baguette slices under a broiler, and reserve.

6. Once soup has finished simmering ladle it into individual

ovenproof crocks. Top the soup with bread slices, then shredded

Gruyère. Broil until the cheese is completely melted and

browned. Serve immediately.
