I can't imagine that tasted anything like French onion soup - the onions are not even caramelized. This guy's cooking videos bring to mind late nights in the kitchen after a long evening at the bar. You may think you're creating a masterpiece but you wouldn't eat it sober.
So much wrong with this video. The onions aren't cooked nearly enough. You got them to the first stage of becoming somewhat softened and translucent, but they barely reduced in size. Your onions should reduce in size to at least 1/4 the original amount, and be a medium-dark brown color. Huge problem with the cheese as well. Why use something like parmesan which does not melt well? Stick with the classic gruyere and/or swiss. It also seems as if this recipe would be quite bland. French onion soup should have some sort of herb in it, generally herbs de provence. Not really sure why you use mustard at all. Have never heard of this(maybe its good) but it really isn't french onion soup then. This is more, the "what I could find at costco onion soup". Might be good, just a really odd recipe.
It's definitely bland. The one thing besides herbs that would give it good taste would be the onions, but they weren't cooked enough to caramelise and release sweet onion flavour.

As some one who actually cooks everything this man does is absolutely appalling... thats not onion soup.. its barely sauteed onions covered with bread and cheese. Im really suprised there wasnt 3 giant spoons of mayonnaise somewhere..
Péter Weiner Indeed you are absolutely correct. The cut is somewhat forgivable, but to not fully caramelize the onion is a sin. No wonder he said it was bland at first.
@@oggiekrstic7171 Onions under cooked and the final soup was done wrong as well. If you want a good french onion soup recipe on here find the french guy that did one under Jamie Olivers channel. I've dropped jaws with that recipe
its amazing how, at every step of the way, he does at least one thing incorrectly. cutting the onions too big, cooking everything too high and not long enough, not using beef bones to actually develop a stock, not knowing the word "fond", toasting the bread too early, using the wrong kind of cheese, using the wrong kind of pot. he basically went through all those steps to make cheesy garlic bread in a ramekin.
My Difference for when I make french onion soup is I cut the onions differently, and I follow the Julia Child recipe. If you cut the onions in half after peeling and then cut them into thin strips from the stem end down, you can almost turn the onion slices into noodles. Child is god when it comes to cooking, give her a nod and your dish will turn out great :)
+brandynicole0o0o0 I'm not criticizing either. Sorry, I felt the need to say so after reading other comments. Every recipe can be improved on by the tastes of those making them. I was only making a sugestion that you try julia child's recipe. Your channel makes me perpetually hungry when I watch it :)
array s valid point. Something like this you are supposed to deeply caramelize the onions for 4 hours before adding anything else. This guy cooks his onions like he cooks his meat 🤣🤣🤣 seconds
he doesn't even follow his own instructions to cut an onion from a previous video Edit: a year later I’m going through his videos and was about to comment this. Good stuff past me.
Cooking the garlic first allows the butter to be garlic flavored so long as the heat isnt too high or you let it cook too long. When the garlic starts to turn golden, the onion will slow down the garlic's cooking process and at the same time absorb the butter and garlic favors. You would need a longer cooking time if you reverse the order of cooking which also means a lower cooking temperature.
The most mind boggling part is that you start with a can of beef broth at the beginning of the video, then add chicken broth while cooking. What the hell
"See all that brown stuff on the bottom there?" Yes Jack, that's the garlic and remains of butter you burnt. That's why your soup will be bitter like coffee
I don’t know if you’ll see this habit you’re the firs channel I ever watched and loved on UA-cam I would pull all nighters watching your videos when I was 11 years old now I’m a lot older 😅 and I don’t know when or why I ever unsubscribed, but I thought of you randomly and watching this brings me back to such an innocent calm and loving place in my soul. Thank you for still making videos ❤️ I love you jack !!!
I usually melt the butter with some oil so it won't burn and add salt/pepper and some brown sugar, it gets the onions really nice and caramelized without being too sweet since the salts already in there. Also yes! Also buy low sodium stocks, best choices.
I tried ordering $86,000,000,000 worth of your finest sauces and shipping was not free; it was around $20,000,000,000. FALSE ADVERTISING!!! I will be taking my business elsewhere.
Good Job Jack, your recipe looks easy to follow. The people with negative comments down below need to get their own channel and stop filling yours with negativity.
As a French, may I say that your onions slices are a bit big :) :) The tip to bake the top in the broiler is good, but it is better when you add grounded pepper on top. You may notice that 'onion sauté' can be served as an accompaniment with any meat. Bon Appétit :)
@batty28 The description area isn't big enough. it has to be expanded. I put it on my blog for easy viewing. I don't like the new design changes that youtube made.
I finished making this soup a few moments ago, it tastes amazing!!! I added a few ingredients of my own. I added sliced mushrooms which i sauteed with the onion and some cooked chunks of beef which i added with the broths. It turned out wonderful! I will be sending some pictures as well :)
@AkemiAizen you can do whatever you want. it wasn't a lot of salt and pepper for that huge skillet. that soup made 8 bowls worth. Not putting the cheese on it is like making cupcakes without frosting.
Suggestion: salt just a little after putting in onions and that should reduce the cooking time as well. Also wouldn't need as much salt at the end either. Tried this recipe and that's how I did it and turned out FANTASTIC! Love your channel.
@nikemary if you cook a chicken and eat all the meat off the bones, then take the bones and what little bit of stuff is on the bones and boil it for about an hour then filter just the juice out of the mix and leave the garbage behind, that is broth. Same goes for beef.
Just a tip, if u ever need to finely chop onions, you cut it in half and use one half and then you chop it like in the vid except very thin. Then you hold it together, and you chop through the width.

ok
It should take 3 to 4 hours to caramelise the onions
@@hardknocklife7210 he could have done it in 45 minutes if he cut the onions thinner. His chopping skills are way off

You also added the garlic too early, never put fresh garlic in the pan first unless you want to burn it and completely ruin whatever you're making
Just substitute the garlic for 12 heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise, I dont see what the problem is.
Im not defending this mongoloid at all but A lot of dishes do begin with garlic, such as most pasta dishes. Obviously using some olive oil first

It should be called onions with soup
Not even in mouth yet....

The twist at the end is it’s not soup, it’s grated cheese
11:54 you can here the crunch of the undercooked onions
I googled "jack salmonella" and this came up. LOL.
Now thats a lot of damage
Your onions aren't carmalized! You've using white wine?! And chicken stock?! AARRGGH!!
When you make French onion soup, you have to carmelize the onions not just saute them.
sliced onions = chunks
You need to caramlize those onions for a good 40 mins. Add sugar as well to aid the carmelization. That couldnta had tasted too rich.
Hey how you doing, Jack Scalfani here. and today we're cooking with jack
French refers to the way the onion is cut, not the nationality.
Why all the rude comments? Entertaining video to me!
Hate to say it ,but, that's not how you do it.
But that's how Jack does it 👍🏼
Samantha Burkert this video is supposed to show us how to make french union soup. Not jacks union soul.
Seeing all the onions made me cry just from watching this lol
