I didnt go through with grilling the soup with cheese, but just eating it plainly with good bread. And it was amazing. I cooked it for 2 friends and the were also very pleased! And i didnt cry while cutting the onions, so no waste!!!
    Much love from Denmark!

      ha6464 why miss out so much flavour? adding wine or brandy to a dish adds so much flavour and once it’s cooked it has no alcohol left anyway. I always add a splash of brandy to this dish and it’s so tasty. I add red wine to ragout, brandy to peppercorn sauce, white wine to risotto because good cooking is all about adding layers of flavour!

    AHH what a great tip to hold off on seasoning until the ending stages. It's so rare to find a not-too-salty onion soup when I eat out. Maybe most kitchen staff believe in a good cry over their onion soup. :D

    I love French onion soup. One of the local Pub&Grills has this as a lunch special paired with a French dip sandwich. The soup doubles as the dip in this lunch combo. Great combo on a cold day! Chris

    The canned and boxed beef stock/broth are pretty bad. I like the Progresso brand the best but still not that good. I try to improve it by sautéing a lb (.5 Kg) 95/5 ground beef in a wide pan until heavily browned, then add 48 oz (1.25 L) of the boxed stock and reduce that by 1/3. Strain it and it's a passable beef stock. I also prefer to crumble the bread into bite size pieces. Comte or Manchego cheese works great and I like to mix it with a little San Joachin Gold cheddar from Fiscalini Farms, Fresno, CA. It's a cross between aged cheddar and Parmesan. Incredible texture and flavor. Very happy to find this channel. I really like Alex. Thanks Chef.

    • @ontheborderofbored

      Thanks for the cheese recommendation. If anyone's wondering, 8 oz. of the San Joaquin Gold is $11.

    I add the thyme to the onions just prior to the wine (or brandy, depending) ... The Google short link to the recipe is dead... what was the name of the French cheese option to Gruyere? Was it COMTE? merci mes amis!

    i cant catch the words... what kind of cheese is that?

  • @justinberwick2827
    @justinberwick2827 8 років тому +5

    I have made this soup twice now and it's great! But the cheese always sinks to the bottom of the bowl and only a little stays on the crouton (single slice of baguette). This means I never get that nice crusty cheesy layer on top (the very best part). Alex, how do I get my cheese to float? Please answer I really want my crusty cheese!

    • @Carboncluster
      @Carboncluster 8 років тому

      +Justin Berwick I guess you should use more bread or toast the bread longer before using it?
      (Just a quick thought from my side)

    • @RegularGirl79
      @RegularGirl79 8 років тому

      The French Compte that is recommended.

    • @RegularGirl79
      @RegularGirl79 8 років тому

      ***** Or Swiss Cheese and maybe even Parmesan. I don't other cheese like Cheddar, Morzarella, etc work well as they would other power the dish.
