  • My beautiful FRENCH ONION SOUP is a French classic that is sure to impress. The meltingly tender onions, the delicious ooey-gooey cheese and the crusty bread is so hard to resist. Deep golden caramelized onions create a soup that is filled with amazing flavor, I’ve simmered it with fresh herbs, optional white wine and I used freshly grated Gruyère cheese, but you can substitute it with other favorites like Swiss cheese, Sharp cheddar, Fontina, Monterrey jack and others you may like. I love crusty bread, and a crusty baguette will always do the trick, but you can choose your favorite too. This soup can be intimidating for many, but I’ll show you how easy it is, and I’ll do it step by step. This FRENCH ONION SOUP wins hands down, I hope you give it a try.❤️

      I know watching her and the dishes she makes reminds me of when I used to live in CA 30 yrs. ago. When CA was a lot different than today! My brother-in-law was a fantastic cook! We ate totally differently here on the Southeast coast. And she captures both types of cooking. My brother-in-law is from Israel so he had great recipes, and then there was a lot of authentic and Street Mexican food. Not what they had here in the south 30yrs. ago! Taco Bell was the Mexican food here then! But life was easier and food was more healthy for you in Ca. back then. And you could grill out like normal people! She reminds me of people who get together with other people and grill out and hang out outside after dinner. Not like it is today. I don't know if you understand what I'm talking about. They are not allowed to grill out in CA anymore. Along with some other insane things! I'm so grateful we moved straight to the other coast when we did!! And I found her on UA-cam!

    To avoid onions that will make your eyes water when you cut them do this: put whole onion in microwave for about 10-20 seconds. The small onion needs 10 sec. and a I larger one for 20 sec. It will be easier to peel and one won’t get the harsh odor and eye sting. If one still gets the burn, add a few more seconds to the next onion. Easy fix. Don’t do several onions at once. You can do 2 at a time, but 1 works best.
    I forget where learned this trick but it works.
    I love onions but admit I’ve never had French onion soup. Will definitely make.
    Thank you for the hard work you put into providing these videos for us. Thank you!

    What a nice lady...She reminds me of my Portuguese Grandma...Vovie...She was a wonderful cook and baker! She walked this 4yr. old to school every morning, and then after school to the Chicken butcher to buy one of the hanging chickens in the front window. I got to choose which one to get wrapped in newspaper, and then it off to the veggie market. I think that I may have been the first kid in America to wear a home made back pack to carry the groceries home.
    The meat market was the other way. We always went there on Thursday because our Church was half the way there, and we had to make sure to visit God, and light our candles, just to make sure that he saw me there! After al little kid needs all the help he can get living in this crazy world of Big People! On the way home she always spoke Portuguese to every neighbor sitting on their porch even though some of them were Polish or Hungarian, just to make sure that I knew the words, phrases and their names...I remember thinking that there were too many languages to learn for a little kid like me! It sure was a lot to learn for a 4 yr. old squirt, as I was known around the world back then. I miss them both Black Jack and Vovie so much.. Just a story from almost 70 years ago.

So yes, made a huge pot of home made French onion soup. It was a massive hit! The guests loved it - said it was the best they ever had -and it was soooo easy to prepare. I made it just as you showed. With a little vin rouge - delightful! Thanks for bringing back fun memories, and for your great recipe. You’re truly a joy to watch... concise, relaxing and easy to follow.

      I'm a french Canadian. I regularly make the French onion soup (at least once a month). It's a classic at home. Rachel recipe is basically the same that I cooked for over 20 years. I use the same seasonings (bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper). It's easy to adapt the recipe according to what you have at home. The crucial step is to caramelize the onions well. It makes a big difference in taste. As variations: 1) I sometimes replace the white wine with beer (any type works but I prefer a good amber ale...when making soup with beer I sometimes add 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard but I reduce to 1/2 tsp thyme 2) You can also have fun mixing red, yellow and white onions. I take what I have at home. It's a matter of taste but I always make the soup with beef broth. I recommand it. I like to use cheddar (old cheddar chesse is the best if you don't have gruyere)

    Wow! Rachel hits it out of the park again! The finished soup looks gorgeous! And the way in which she decided to cut those pieces of bread in to four was genius: a crouton in every bite! I’ve been watching a lot of “French Onion Soup recipes” on YT videos today, and one woman put an interesting twist on the plating; before putting anything else in the bowl, she dipped one of the croutons very briefly in the finished broth and placed it in the bottom,of the bowl. Then, she added some of the grated cheese. All this before putting in the broth and other ingredients! What a pleasant surprise it would be to see some of that gooey cheese and last piece of bread tucked away at the bottom of your bowl!

    Co-inky-dink! I just made a pot of Fr. Onion Soup TODAY! (it was overcast & drizzly here in Laguna CA... soup weather) I use Julia Child's recipe with some homemade beef/chicken stock I keep in the freezer. I add 2 cloves of garlic just because I like it....I see you do the same. For the wine I use dry French Vermouth and then some brandy at the end. Gruyerè cheese if I'm feeling flush, otherwise just Trader Joe's Swiss slices. And always TJ's Pecorino...just because I like the tang of sheep's milk cheese. A salad & glass of vino & good 2 go!❤

      @@rachelcookswithlove : I tried doing your crouton method, I usually do slices, but you're right.....the croutons are bite sized and I will do that from now on. I always get great tips from you. So pleased by the way your channel has grown! You're the best, and deserve it. ❤

      We take the end of the season pickles, peppers ,baby tomatoes, I add some garlic cloves, some spices. Top with a vinegar brine. I jar as many as I can. This is so good on the side with this soup. I use different herbs in my jars for flavor. I just love homemade cucumbers. We just spent the last few days clearing out the garden of what was left. We do chow chow too. Very delicious.🙂👍✌️🥰🤗👋. Vee, and Andrew.

    This recipe is almost identical to my French onion soup. The only difference is I don't add garlic to mine. I'm so glad you used Gruyere and not Swiss cheese like so many other videos I've seen. It's not quite soup weather for me; we're still in the 90's here in Las Vegas, but as soon as it gets cooler it will definitely be time for this wonderful soup!

    The thing that impresses me most when you are cooking .... is how, even though your pot is full to the brim with ingredients, when you're tossing and stirring everything you don't make a mess! Me - inevitably I flip some on the stove or even manage to plop some on the floor. I am such a sloppy chef. You are always neat and I envy that.

    It’s really worth the time caramelizing the onions. I love the developing flavor and your recipe looks delicious. The next time I make it I will do what a friend did and that is add in pearl onions (frozen variety) in the latter part of the cooking process. Just for fun and added interest!
