Does anyone have a to die for French Onion Soup Recipe

[DebMcDonald]

I've tried several recipes and have failed multiple times, both times it just wasn't great and this is a favorite soup in our house and I'd love a tried and true recipe either crock pot or stove.

Thanks!

Me too! I made Julia Child's French Onion Soup recipe in the fall, and although it did work out very well, it was not a simple recipe. Remember the scene in Julie and Julia where Julia is chopping up the onions? Well, sorta like that! Tasted just yummy though.

I've made the Pioneer Woman's French Onion soup recipe and it was delicious.

It was time-consuming, but definitely worth the time.

I don't have one but thought I'd throw this out there. If you like French Onion Soup a lot the frozen soup from Costco is really good. You just place the little block of soup in a bowl and it's ready in munutes. You can have French Onion Soup every day if you want.

Yum.

My recipe is to go to Unos at lunch and get the all you can eat soup for $6. I love their French Onion and could eat it till I pop.....BUT, because that is not something I do too often and my family loves it too, I will be trying the above recipes...so thanks for sharing!!! I love to cook and this is one thing I always wish I knew how to make.

I second Pioneer Woman's one. She is a rock star.

I've also made the Cooks Illustrated one. It was awesome, but very fiddly (like all their recipes). The one thing I like about this one was that it was largely done in the oven. Alton Brown used an electric skillet for his and that sounded cool, too, but, again, fiddly.

Thanks very much for the recipe. It looks really good! Will try it as soon as my kitchen is back together again--we have a mini-reno going on right now, and my cooking is going to be limited for the next couple of weeks.

We are in love with the Barefoot Contessa's recipe. The soup, on it's own is outstanding, but those homemade croutons are killer.

It's been a few years since I made this, but I remember it being very good. It's from Extra-Special Crockery Pot Recipes by Lou Seibert Pappas.

French Onion Soup

4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup butter
3 cups rich beef stock
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup medium dry sherry
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
4-6 slices buttered French bread
1/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese or dry Jack cheese

Using a large frying pan, slowly saute onions in butter until limp and glazed. Transfer to crockery pot. Add beef stock, white wine, sherry, Worcestershire and garlic. Cover. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Place French bread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese. Place under preheated broiler until lightly toasted. To serve, ladle soup into bowls. Float a slice of toasted French bread on top.

Makes 4-6 servings

OK, this is actually made with chicken stock, but the flavor in this is incredible and you'd never know it! It is really good. I second the Barefoot Contessa recipe also. Ina Garten's recipes never fail. Delish.

My best friend makes the best french onion soup and when I asked her for the recipe she just laughed. She makes it with lipton onion soup mix. She caramelizes onions prepares the lipton onion soup as directed and then adds the onions. Adds croutons and shredded cheese to the top. It is the best and so easy.
