Today I’m sharing my french onion soup recipe, it is the perfect comfort food on a cold winters night. Made with delicious caramelized onions, fresh thyme, smooth merlot and three types of cheese all served into a bread bowl, the best part is you get to eat the bowl!
A huge thanks to Happy Housie for all the effort she puts into each of these blog hops!
French Onion Soup in Bread Bowls
Yields 8 Servings
8 large rolls
3 large sweet onions, sliced
2 large red/purple onions, sliced
8 tablespoons butter
1.5 teaspoons salt
64-ounces beef broth
½ cup merlot
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 bay leaves
8 sprigs fresh thyme
Small bunch of fresh parsley
6-ounce package Gruyere cheese
3 cups mozzarella, shredded
1 cup parmesan, shredded
Directions:
- In a large stockpot, brown the butter.
- Add onions and cook over medium/high heat for 30 minutes or until beginning to caramelize.
- Add in the beef broth, merlot, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar.
- Bundle up bay leaves, thyme, and parsley and add to soup.
- Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut off the tops of the rolls, then using a spoon or your hands, push down the center of the bread into the bottom of the roll, making a bowl shape.
- Bake bread bowls for 7-10 minutes.
- Separate cheese between all eight bread bowls and press into bottom, then bake for an additional 4 minutes.
