This hearty Double Cheese French Onion Soup transforms humble onions into a luxurious, savory experience. Slowly caramelized until deep brown and sweet, the onions form the base of a rich broth made with chicken and beef stock, enhanced by a splash of dry white wine. The “double cheese” aspect comes from layering toasted French bread with both mozzarella and parmesan, creating a gooey, golden-brown crust under the broiler. It&# 226;€™s the ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings, offering a perfect balance of umami depth and cheesy richness. Serve as a main course or a decadent starter for a special dinner party.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Separate onion slices into rings and set aside.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup butter or margarine in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Add the onion rings and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender and deeply caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 10 3/4 oz undiluted chicken broth, 10 1/2 oz undiluted beef broth, 2 cups water, and 1 cup dry white wine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Season with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper to taste.
  8. Place 8 ovenproof serving bowls on a baking sheet to prevent spilling.
  9. Place one 3/4-inch-thick slice of toasted French bread into each bowl.
  10. Ladle the hot soup over the bread in each bowl.
  11. Top each bowl with one slice of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
  12. Broil 6 inches from the heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden brown spots.
  13. Serve immediately while hot.
