60 min

This easy onion soup is wonderfully rich and flavorful. The perfect choice for cold winter days, it's warm, tasty, and comforting.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 medium onions (6 ounces each, sliced into thin rounds)
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 quart beef broth (not low-sodium)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and patiently cook, stirring often, until caramelized, 15-20 minutes. If the pan becomes too dry during cooking, add a splash of water (1-2 tablespoons).

  2. 2

    Add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon for about 1 minute until it starts to brown.

  3. 3

    Add the wine. Mix well. Cook for about 2 minutes until most of the wine evaporates.

  4. 4

    Add the beef broth, black pepper, and dried thyme. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  5. 5

    Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, until the soup is noticeably thicker, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
