It would even been better late in the afternoon while it's getting a bit dark, with candles on the table, with a light snow starting to fall (use a parasol) and some colorful xmas lights ;-)

It's so weird to think that my favorite UA-camrs all watch eachother. It's like there's some kind of YCU, UA-cam cinematic universe, but it's really just the regular old universe lmao.
I am cooking French onion soup quite often for the last few years and did try (and fail) many times with different methods. I noticed a few things: the taste is quite adjustable, so what do you put inside the broth is usually up to you and rather forgiving if you keep remembering that the onions will be sweet. Mushrooms, how you did it, are a great idea and I do it as well (as a vegetarian). However, the texture of the onions is a thing that needs to be considered. I did try baking soda and would never use it again. It did what you can see in the video, a very gooey texture. If you want that, fine but I encourage viewers to try also without baking soda. The onions will be much less gooey and more caramel-like (?) if you take your time to stir them over a long period of time. Sure, it will take 40 minutes for the onions, but I really really recommend to just do it one time, it will not disappoint. The most important point about the caramelisation of onions is time and patience. The second most important is salt. Salt the onions, really, you want to get rid of the water of the onions gently nd salt helps. Funnily, I found sugar to be completely unnecessary if you use salt and just adds even more sweetness to the already sweet onions. If you have a sweet tooth, then why not, I found adding sugar really too sweet for my liking. Good luck with the onion soup!
I’ve started carmelizing HUGE (5-15lb) batches of onions in the oven, about 300°F, lots of butter, stir every 30-45 min. Takes a few hours but is DELICIOUS and freezes well and then I have tons to make into a sour cream dip whenever I want. I keep thinking I should try making FO soup with them sometime but I eat them up too fast other ways! 😆
@@lodjic3840 apple juice or apples would be great! i actually didn't have wine the first time i made this soup and i blended up some apples into a puree instead, turns out that's an actual variation of this soup and i think possibly my favorite edit: forgot to mention: i used apple cider vinegar to deglaze, i think that added more "body" or whatever to the soup as i also added some more to taste later on
I dont think that it would matter in this case, as he said "the soup has a ton of onion flavour", but your right in the case for a normal stock and not for a fos.
@@Kiashak oh totally. I don’t think it’s vital at all in this case but I don’t see why not to, especially since the raw scraps of onion are gonna have some different flavors than the caramelized onion base and you’d just throw it away otherwise. it’s just a good technique to be aware of in any context
I save carrot ends, celery ends, and onion skins in a bag in the freezer, and bring them out when I make stock. I've never thought of doing this with pre-made, I will have to give that a try.
When I make swiss chard or kale I chop the raw stems and freeze them for future soup, same with raw carrots, celery, scallion bits but if you don't label the bags they become frosty unidentifiable things...
It's always good to see someone mentioning both how an alkaline environment catalyses the maillard reaction while also mentioning at other times how it tenderises meat. Maybe I'll get fewer strange looks when I mention it outside of foodie circles now.
There is a bad side effect for this technique, which is it breaks things down a lot. It kinda dissolves things. So if you cook things too much you end up with a pasty mess of texture.
Never apologize for exploring the history and culture behind food Andong, not many food channels cover that stuff and I personally value that aspect of your videos a lot. Food culture is best culture xD
Andong, you’re so good at pronoucing french on you learned and remenber that the last “s” from any word connects to the next word. Except when the next word starts with an H. Therefore, you don’t say les zall for “les halles” you say lé hal. You’re welcome Andong 🙃
I came home an hour ago, arms laden with vegetables with which I was going to make a nice curry. Instead, I now have this soup bubbling away! One simply cannot choose any alternative, when French onion soup is on offer! Andong, this was another excellent video, thank you!
I love the occasional crazy, lazy, "fuck it"-style to change things up. It really helps to encourage people out there to try themselves, takes the worries of not creating something perfect and fits my style of cooking a lot as well.
I have cooked fos last autumn and I can’t wait to do it again. Like anfing I used a self pimped, but bought Fonds. My soup was very, very good, but it got perfect, once I’ve put in some Cognac
Ayyyyee!!! I also made it, still have some in the freezer! I was surprised by how _sweet_ it turned out to be (I might have overdone it on the carrots and the lemon juice), but NO RAGRETS.
Made Onion soup yesterday Andong, i'm french and my familly requested and loved it. i use pot au feu stock for deglazing, but no wine, as my mother don't like her soup acidic and i don't use baked soda to caramelize (only a long low temp caramelisation, nearl 1h) to make my oinion roux. but still, i sometimes add balsamic vinegar to make it a bit more raunchy, and it's really a nice comfort soup !
You inspired me! I made it tonight for supper and it was just what I needed. I spent 3 hours outside today in - 25C weather and soup with lots of cheese was perfect. I'll definitely make it again!
In my experience, the onions are less reduced, less "purée" and more chunky. And the bread is not sliced but "croûtons" ! Anyway, I just ate and you made me hungry again so good job ;)
When I remember french onion soup, I think of a slice of squared white bread (Toastbrot in german) and a thick layer of cheese. Croutons have more of a crunchy surface and it would be much easier to eat it. But PLEASE... do not cook onions to mush 😣😢
Applauds for the efforts and how the show must go on concepts. That part amuses me. Teaching people how to cook is also worthy of praise, especially when one takes an ancient version from a cook book and "modernizes" it for today's audiences. As a retired Chef I still like using the traditional methods for cooking. Like yesterday, I roasted off my root vegetables and braised the beef. Letting the pans cool over night for today's usages. Cooking in batches a few hours at a time and then coming back the next day to finish the dish is my way of sorting through these older versions of cooking. Bon Appetite! or Schmecks!
Dear Aleksey (aka Andong). lots of fun here. I laughed outloud several times, I enjoy (and share) your mad scientist approach to cooking. I didn't know folks cried when cutting onions because my mom always had them refridgerated. I still refridgerate my onions to this day. I have a small tip on improving broth which I learned from my years of cooking chinese super stock. If you have leftover bones from roasted or fried meats (pork beef chicken turkey duck etc ) if you add those to the working stock it will help the flavor. I too have german whites and french reds in my pantry and even some nice mexican wines, La Cetto is the brand name, which A European couple (Swiss - Belgian) recommended to me and I love the flavor of. I also enjoy the Punk Berlin hellscape you found to enjoy these recipes. Thanks again...Jim

I love making dishes from scratch when I can, but I really like how you approach cooking from a more realistic perspective rather than being too rigid and chef-like.
day 2 of suggesting to try Bulalô/Bulalo is a beef dish from the Philippines. It is a light colored soup that is made by cooking beef shanks and bone marrow until the collagen and fat has melted into the clear broth. It typically includes leafy vegetables, corn on the cob, scallions, onions, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce. and there's a Filipino place at Germany soo... maybe a good chance to try and it's very good especially at cold/rainy weathers..
My favourite onion soup tip is to grate another whole onion into the pot during the last ten minutes of simmering. It just brings something back. I mean mostly onion flavour but also texture. Like just soft super fine onion with all the jammy caramel onion richness. Joyful.
I made this with leeks entirely and 2 shallots as my work were throwing out an entire box of leeks, I used rum as well as my deglazing alcohol and it was fantastic
In France, drinking in public is illegal, advertisement for alcohol on TV are illegals. And I think a French UA-camr will have to put a disclaimer if he wanted to be sponsored by a distillery (like the Sishuan foods video). We are far less open about alcohol that people think X)
"illegal" and "not done in real life" are two different things, going to Lyon or Grenoble (and other places I think) without drinking along the river is failing the journey :D
@@kingofrunes5291 not everywhere, sorry, but in most of public space it's forbidden, especially in big cities. (It's not by law, most of the time it's regulated by decree)
You're leaving out the important part: Inside is a swirl of Walnut flilling with rum-soaked Raisins. (at least the one i know from my mother-in-law. Regional and familial variances may occur)

You, Sir., had just become one of my favourite youtubers ever. You were pretty close to be one, but the cherry on the top was referencing both James Hoffmann and Taras Kul in the same video. It drive me crazy! keep the amazing work. With love from a fellow Venezuelan viewer.
Very nice variation of the regular videos, I would like to watch more recipes in this style (I mean, cooking for the first time in front of the camera)
I love your energy in this vid! I learned a few things about onions - when cutting you can burn a candle near it and it helps with the sulfur eye attack. Also, if you soak one in cold water for around 10 minutes, it will be less pungent. (Especially for those intense onions that have only one desire...to make you cry lol) I’ll be making this tomorrow :) blessings and thank you for your work!
May I quote Gordon Ramsay: "Caramelizing the onions alone takes four hours". Thomas Keller and most other French taught top chefs agree. You may pimp the broth but concerning the long and slow cooked onions there is no shortcut. If they are not carefully cooked to a point that they look like brown marmelade and taste all sweet, forget about it. Sorry, I love your channel, but I'm also trying to be honest. Nothing personal.
@@lwolfer5170 Marco Pierre White also sold his soul to Knorr. It's sad, but this guy has bent over. He has given up his culinary pride and only cares for the pay cheque.
Imagine walking through a park, and seeing someone take out a table, and start flamethrowering a bowl of soup.
with 2 people in masks and cameras watching!
Sounds like a pretty normal thing to happen in Berlin parks 🤣

I think these days people with cameras watching would make such a scene a lot less weird, actually.
The secret to prevent crying when cutting onions is to avoid forming an emotional bond with them first.
God damn it they’re always so nice I can’t help it
INCONCEIVABLE!
Damn I've only been breathing with my mouth
It's so difficult though....
Wait till you get me started!

As a frenchman I straight away shouted an insult when you combined "german" and "wine" together. Well done, Andong, well done.
You mean like France with engineering? Get it.
Germany has really good wine and has only 1,5 points less, in ratings at vivino.com than French wines.
Germany has great wine
Ewww French "people"
Yeah like France with good cars or Parisian with not rude behavior.
I feel like Andong was under the influence of something this episode, was it the onion fumes perhaps? :)
As he said, he didn't have a script. I guess his bubbly personality finally came through, and i loved it. Was super fun to watch :)
Too much good wine.
I bet a few glasses of that wine mysteriously disappeared
Or the sadness of not using his own broth ):

I am in love with this soup series!!!! Now do potage parmentier!!!!
Pissing of the French ... he still loves them.
Being his friend must be hard.
I love your energy in this vid!
I learned a few things about onions - when cutting you can burn a candle near it and it helps with the sulfur eye attack. Also, if you soak one in cold water for around 10 minutes, it will be less pungent. (Especially for those intense onions that have only one desire...to make you cry lol)
I’ll be making this tomorrow :) blessings and thank you for your work!
May I quote Gordon Ramsay: "Caramelizing the onions alone takes four hours". Thomas Keller and most other French taught top chefs agree. You may pimp the broth but concerning the long and slow cooked onions there is no shortcut. If they are not carefully cooked to a point that they look like brown marmelade and taste all sweet, forget about it.
Sorry, I love your channel, but I'm also trying to be honest. Nothing personal.
Agree that for top quality more time is required - but this definitely wasn’t bad either!
@@lwolfer5170 Marco Pierre White also sold his soul to Knorr. It's sad, but this guy has bent over. He has given up his culinary pride and only cares for the pay cheque.
The most hilarious video so far! And all the references to other channels! You are getting really good at this youtube thing Andong! Keep it up!
Those onions don't quite look right...
i love this recipe i cooked it for the cold season for years now.
