lol..
And for Soupe a l'Oignon we'll need more broth! The cocotte maybe too shallow with all that bread.
I don't think that french onion soup is a French dish. The "french" in "french onion" is an American way to describe food that has been julienned.
French onion soup was probably existing before the USA. American have a weird way of using french words for the wrong things, like calling a main dish an 'entree'.
french onion soup originates from paris

Salut Alex. Love your videos ! Chef by profession I would recommend this, for the stock roast your bones alone in the oven until well caramelized, then add your vegetables but most importantly your tomato paste should be cooked off with the bones and veggies, that will bring the flavor of your stock to a whole other level, if you add it raw like this it doesn't add much flavor and will make your stock a bit bitter. Maillard reaction everywhere for a stock ! Merci pour ces superbes video que tu fait. J'attend toujour avec impatience les prochaines !
Bonjour,
Merci pour ces conseils ! Je me permets de demander encore quelques précisions pour être certain de le réaliser de la meilleure des manières. Vous commencez donc par caraméliser vos os avec du concentré de tomate ( combien de temps +ou- avant d'ajouter les légumes ? ) puis vous ajoutez vos légumes avant d'ajouter ça aux parures ( elles saisies dans la casserole directement ) si je comprends bien ? Merci d'avance pour votre réponse
@Vamoo merci ;)
Thanks for your comment! Indeed, in my oven at 250*C I get my veggies almost burnt in like 20-25 minutes, so i guess next time i`ll add them later
Common misconception with thee onion soup.
Many people think the flavours come from thee onions which is not exactly thee case!
Next step: Add 6kg of ONIONS...
So what I'm hearing is it should be called 30 onion soup?
Just made this for my parents and sister - they loved it! Just remember the flour must go in before the stock or it will curdle with the heat.
If you take a small bowl put it into cold water (hot a lot) then pour the flour water into the soup. No lumps.
Alternatively: make a quick roux, and don't deny yourself that toasty flavor!
myexplodingcat roux is good, but also making a flour slury or doing Alex style cuts out a step. Addaibg another flavor layer on an already heavy flavor dish can be too intense sometines
3:28 Pretty sure 9/10 dudes (including myself) would've still went for it.
Amen
If he knew how to do it, it WOULD’VE worked 😂
Yep, but because I always cook a little buzzed (I'm Cajun)
We'd all just find a way to *make* it work
And 10/10 wives of those dudes would be furious.
Well, it took almost 8 hours over all, but this was one of the most flavourful dishes i ate in my entire life. I went a little overboard with the four spices though, definitely will have to take care of that the next time. But it's amazing, i can't believe something made almost entirely from onions can be so sweet. I mean, it makes sense, onions store nutrients in the form of starch, and with heat that decomposes into sugar. But oh my god, this was almost onion jam. Incredible.
Sadly, I'm too poor to buy cheese, so i probably lost one of the most important parts of the dish. But it mas amazing nonetheless
''I'm too poor to buy cheese, s''....rubbish.
@@SuperSetright in some countries cheese is proportionally speaking pretty expensive. While onions and bread are generally very inexpensive.
But yes most countries offer very cheap cheese. (Ethics not considered)
There isn't any starch in an onion. healthyeating.sfgate.com/starch-potato-onion-9056.html They have papery skin so their sugars don't leach out
8 hours ?!
@@dmarsub most cheese in our stores is garbage, but still costs a lot. So I can understand.
One suggestion for efficiency improvement. When straining the fat from stock prefer to put in fridge to allow fat to coagulate at top. Lose less of that magic stock that way.
Love everything about your show btw! You always inspire me to get back in the kitchen!
Ok, the bat sealed it! This is my favourite youtube cooking channel!
Awesome love it thank you !
Yes, and always a great excuse to have a bat... it is for the onion soup
As it said in that chef skills video--it's all about adjusting! lol We'd still be waiting for that block to unfreeze otherwise. ;)
I'm torn between Alex and YSAC
You could say he knocked it out of the park
This is one soup that has fooled most, if not all vegetarians.
I make this with a mushroom base or vegetable base at home
@Wenceslao Futanaki he literally says in the video how you could change the ingredients of the stock for a vegetarian dish
if you use vegetarian cattle, you are still fine
I'm vegan too, but damn this looked great
I make it with no alcohol and with veggies and sometimes meat if i really want to eat meat , but since i eat it as a side fresh desh I don't use meat and keep it light weight by adding rice flour instead of normal flour
I think I have never thought that in my life, I will see someone smashing frozen onions with an Aluminium bat in a cooking video.
idea for a next video, what to do with all that Beef stock. guess it's endless ! Great work
.
Alysse Hallali Chinese style beef noodles
...im hoping he does a beef stew, would enjoy to see his take.
make videos where the beef stock is the accompanying ingredients. Make 5-6 dishes where you enhance the flavor with stock.
oh, i'd love to see that
Idea for the stock. Instead of removing the fat immediately after straining put t he stock in the fridge/freezer. The stock and fat will gelatinize and the fat will rise to the top. Then you can just scrape it off the top.
Fight Club?
Death Of Eden idea for a stock.
left a fat there, it have so much flavour that its a tremendous difference and you will thank me for leaving all of it there

Just stumbled upon your channel Alex, this is one of the most amazing French soup recipes I've seen on youtube. I've never made homemade beef broth, but you have changed my mind forever. Amazing!
Hi Alex, I experimented a lot with making stock takes more savory for making Tonkotsu Ramen brot. In the end the biggest taste change come form adding a few pureed mushrooms and a fresh tomato. And if you really want to go further you can take dried muschrooms and blend it into a powder and add that. And the stock does not taste like mushroom at all, just a deep savory flavor. You will be so surprised what a big change this makes in stock.

I love hearing your alternatives for vegetarians and vegans. Your process is fascinating to watch.
This is amazing!! I cannot wait to try and make this.
First time watching and I LOVED IT!!! Finally someone that speeds up the process of watching and also the the cooking time! GREAT JOB! (and now have time to make the sou[!) Tks much!
TIP! Freeze the leftover stock in an ice cube tray. Then can you can pick out a few little cubes of stock if you just need a bit of stock without having to thaw the entire block. Little cubes will also melt quicker.
you said about veg stock. Use misso, kombu, mushrooms, pok choi, broccoli and sun dried tomatoes, all have high glutamine, gaving umami flavors
Any delicious broth or stock will provide a delicious french onion soup. It's all up to one's tastes :)
you are insane probably almost a god jajaja
Yes this!
I wouldn't use any cruciferous veggies like broccoli or pok choi in broth. They become particularly bitter when simmered to make broths. The rest sound good, though I don't think sun dried tomatoes are necessary, you can get a great flavor from just using paste. Miso and kombu aren't bad ideas, but when I make vegetarian French onion soup (which I have done a lot!), I make a broth from just mushrooms that have been chopped and heavily browned (but not burnt) mixed with mushroom extract, a bit of tomato paste, herbs, white wine (from deglazing the onions) and a bit of salt. Most anyone who has tried it (meat eaters) say it's the best French onion soup they've had, though that's probably just because I spent some time to make the components from scratch. Damn, I gotta make some now after typing that up...
HUGE SHOUT OUT FOR SAVING ALL THE ONION , very cool seeing that
You made the best onion soup ever. Great energy, verve, style, flair. I'm a fan now. Thanks you for making everything intresting!

Easy way to get the fat off the stock if you don't need it right away (you should let it sit for at least a few hours anyway to let the flavors come together IMHO).. refrigerate for a few hours. The fat will solidify and you can just pick it off the top while minimizing removal of the actual stock. Love your videos btw! They've given me some great ideas and tips! Thank you!
Why does this only have 2.2 Million views? It deserves at least 10!
It's my favorite soup. Thanks Chef, you knocked out of the park.
Great idea about using the pressure cooker. That was a beautiful large onion soup. I had never thought of doing onion soup family style.
A) This looks delicious.
B) A mildly amusing anecdote:
A decade or so back, I decided to run a Passover seder in my loft. Various people brought various dishes. Someone was providing matzoh balls, but not the soup in which to serve them. So, it fell on my mother to pick up the soup. My only request was that it had to be vegetarian, since a couple of the guests were lacto-ovo. She called me from a shop to confirm that vegetarian French onion soup would be acceptable. I told her that it would be, but that I doubted that such a substance existed. She double-checked with the shopkeeper, who swore that the potage was vegetarian. At the seder, I served the knaidlach in the soup, and it was a big hit. My veggie pals told me that it was the best matzoh ball soup they'd ever had.
The next day, I took the leftovers out of the fridge. There was a quarter-inch-thick slab of beef fat that had solidified on top. I never told my herbivore friends, and probably never will.
the vegetarians' skepticisms would be reassured about why the meal tasted so good.....
We always use pressure cook here in Brazil (for brazilian beans, usually). It's much faster and you can make meat ridiculously tender. It amazes me how other countries don't use it.
Gustavo Silveira same here (Peru btw)
I thought everyone uses them...(Panamá)
+Gustavo Silveira YES ! and you are so right about this, but it's not that commonly used here.
We use them daily, other countries don't? (I'm from Colombia) from this message seams to me is a Latin american thing.
we use pressure cookers pretty frequently here in India as well! Especially for things like rice and lentils. I don't get why they're not a popular in other places though...
The best end product of onion soup ever. Especially done in home style manner. Excellent
Never! That was no Soup, it was a bunch of moist, toasted bread.
Amazing work you did there! Tastes even better than usually 🧚♀️
I love making French onion soup, it's by far my favorite soup... but admittedly I have been limited a bit with the stock I used before... wich is usually concentrated potted stock i buy at the grocery store. I might have to check with the nearest butcher to see if they sell any good beef stock because for me its a bit of a hassle to make at home. i dont have much room in my tiny apartment, a tiiiny hot air oven and a electric stove.
Thanks for the video, alex. i will do my best to increase the flavour of my favorite soup!
1:54 You need a drill speed reducer gearbox to keep the rpm low at the grinder while still having decent drill speed. It'll also help to achieve the proper torque at the grinder
Mister16V Clever. I never thought about regearing a drill.
+Mister16V Cool, didn't even know such tings existed
Ma question est peut être stupide, mais quelle proportion des six kilos d'oignons à fini dans ce plat de soupe?
6 kilos d'oignons ça me semble énorme pour un si petit plat, même bien brunis et réduits.
Perso, quand je fais une soupe à l'oignon , je compte 2 ou 3 beaux oignons gros comme le poing par tête, et je suis gros mangeur...
PS: un réducteur de vitesse pour perçeuse, ça ne se vend pas spécialement couramment dans le commerce, mais les perceuses portatives en ont toutes consubstantiellement déjà un!
Le moteur tourne à très grande vitesse, avec peu de couple, tandis que la mèche nécessite une vitesse relativement faible pour percer, mais surtout, un minimum de couple...
Il y'à un train d'engrenages entre le moteur de la perceuse, et le mandrin qui reçoit la mèche, en général un réducteur épicycloïdal.
Le "bon" côté des choses c'est que vu que vous avez flingué une perceuse, enfin son moteur, vous en avez un en rab, de train épicycloïdal! Ce n'est pas lui qui aura pris, à priori!
Si vous ne l'avez pas encore jetée, désossez là, récupérez le, et avec un peu d'adaptation, vous pourrez faire fonctionner votre hachoir par le truchement de celui ci, avec une autre perceuse!
Il vous faudra bidouiller un support pour maintenir le corps du motoréducteur stationnaire par rapport au hachoir, ou à la perceuse, mais sinon, c'est assez simple, et ça se prête à des tas de bidouilles!

I really like your attitude and probably going to watch the rest of your videos in one go.
Cheers from Germany
Great video. Also, don't throw that fat away- it's loaded with all the flavors of the stock! Use it to roast potatoes, or, if you've got a stockpile of it, add vegetables to a mason jar, cover with the fat, and pressure cook until tender. Bonus of doing that: You can drain the fat off your vegetable confit and reuse it again afterwards!
rock0052 the restaurant i work at, we use the fat from the beef tray for our Yorkshire pudding instead of using vegetable oil or canola oil. It gives a slight flavour for the Yorkshire.. nothing goes to waste :)
Waste not, want not :) Yorkshire puddings are another awesome use for it
rock0052 completely agree!
I would have just ground it all up and put it in the soup
I put it as tomato sauce mix for my pizza

Bonjour Alex! Just found your channel last week and I feel like you have watched Mythbusters and Good Eats when you were younger
Absolutely loved it. Love from the uk
Yum! I’m always trying to make the perfect French onion soup.
C'est bon! Tres Magnifique
dcgfmb merci
Looks lovely. I know it's sacrilege to the French, but I make an amazing French Onion Soup with vegetarian stock.
I'm French and it's no sacrilege to me . I never made onion soup using beef stock. ☺
It's not a sacrilege. Only stubborn old fashioned chefs would give a f. I don't :)
ce qui est vraiment sacrilège c'est le concentré de TOMATE beurk un bouillon clair est parfait
votre recette est pour un resto a la maison une poêle et en 10 minutes la soupe est au four a gratiné j'ai comme vous du bouillon maison.
sinon je regarde avidement vos vidéo continué super boulot
chibanix if it tastes good, who cares about the tomato paste?
tomatoes give an acidic test and the stock will not last as long as a normal broth due to the acidity.
but your right as long you find it good i don't for myself and i was just thinking off the usual way to do gratiné soup
I could listen to this dude speak all day, I love the way his French accent sounds.
You're crazy man I like that.This is the first video of your channel I came across it won't be the last. Love your kitchen lab,also we're namesakes.Salute
I love the video, this is probably the most uncomplicated French Onion Soup I've seen. One thing I would do is rub tomato paste into the beef scraps so that the tomato paste browns with the beef scraps. Another thing I would do with the stock is let it cool off in a freezer so that the fat at the top hardens and then it can be removed without losing any good stock. The fat can then either thrown away, or incorporated in other dishes like oven baked potatoes... or even use the fat from the beef in with the onions to to caramelize them, instead of just oil or butter... that's how you can get more of that beef stock flavor into the soup :) I would also carefully add an additional small layer of cheese directly onto the soup before putting the bread that way there can be some separation between the bread and soup and so that the bread has less risk of getting soggy.
I would do the opposite. Putting tomato paste on the beef will prevent the beef from browning as the tomato would make a layer around. If I had to change something, it would be to use fresh tomatoes cooked into a puree beforehand so that I can turn the tomato puree into a paste at the same time than I brown everything (in a separate tray). I would put herbs into the tomato puree to give it a better taste, and a bit of sugar to fix acidity.
That's a good idea with browning the tomatoes in herbs! :)
Star anise in tomato instead of sugar, just a little for a few minutes to fix acidity. Tom Stobart's trick.
I think I have heard of that before. Good call!
He is nearly perfect , the tomato paste have to go in the oven , when the beef is brown add the tomato paste 10-15 min ( when you cook it like that , the heat is fixing the acidity , no need of sugar )
I am currently in the process of making this alongside your homemade bread! 5 hours in, 3 more to go... I feel so many things right now 🤣
Yes confinement rocks. I was looking for a super long recipe also to kill time. Falafel works also. Ot takes 3 days
This takes 5 hours max, when doing it right. 3 if you have a pressure cooker. How:
Caramelise the onions while the broth is cooking. The browning of the meat and veggies take 30 mins max in the broiler on the highest setting. In a pressure cooker, the broth needs 1,5 hours total
(5 mins on max heat, 65 on low heat, 20 to cool down and cook to the end), 3 hours otherwise. Onions, caramelised in large quantities take about an hour. Don't use a pressure cooker, just use a normal pan or even a pot. Lastly, the soup itself takes 30 mins to put together and cook. Another 30 mins in the oven for the last step.
Pro tip: bake the sliced bread to make it drier, crunchier and more absorbant of liquid.
Ohhh! This soup looks sooo appetizing!!!!
The best onion soup ever ,:) thank ypu for taking time to make this video
"Pop it in the oven until its nicely charred." He must have seen my cooking. :)
You are the Mcgyver of the kitchen. Love the random experiments! hahaha
As always, a great video...and a great tune, too
I could just watch you eat/taste food for hours. If anyone will make a compilation, please let me know!
This channel is so easily bingeable. I lose hours on this content lmao
You kinda invested imo !
Your channel already beats with onion cutting and this, all of those tv shows.
For TV it has to fit the format, they film and cut the video so that there is no space for personal feel, just going through recipes with few tips here and there.
Fun and fluid, with some of the pressure of the cooking, which maybe called interest and enthusiasm for cooking seeps out of your videos.
Not sure if that is case, but its a reason why I had to sub.
Love the recipe, I added extra beef broth to thin it back to a soup over a paste. I also use a good Swiss cheese with a little mozzarella just for the stretchy stringy fun eating it.
Cooking is definitely an art. I'm not sure I could go to that level of effort to make a stock but I bet the end result is amazing.
@Barber of Seville well I do apologise, sir, how I must have offended you. Please do forgive me... Pedantic Pete.
that is not a good enough amount of cheese. it needs to have about 2 metric tonnes more cheese.
RANDOMANONYMOUSDude No only americans do that.

No that shit kills the flavour,
Cheese contains a protein called Casein that binds to the same receptors in the brain as herion.

easiest way to remove fat from any stock = after it cools down, put them in the freezer for 15-30 minute. the fat will be solid and can easily be separated from the stock
