French Onion Soup (Mon Village)
Description
This traditional French Onion Soup is the ultimate comfort food, featuring deeply caramelized onions simmered in a rich beef consommé base. The slow cooking process unlocks the natural sweetness of the onions, creating a complex, savory broth enhanced by a splash of dry sherry and Worcestershire sauce. Each bowl is topped with a slice of toasted bread and generous layers of mild white cheddar, which are broiled until bubbly and golden brown. It’s a hearty, aromatic dish perfect for chilly evenings or as a sophisticated starter.Directions
