French Onion Soup

Comforting and savory, this gluten-free French onion soup takes traditional flavors and makes them accessible for everyone. Let’s start by looking at the ingredients needed to create this delightful soup.

Ingredients

4 large onions, thinly sliced
4 cups gluten-free vegetable or beef broth
4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for caramelization)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup gluten-free croutons or toasted gluten-free bread
1 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère, Swiss, or any cheese of your choice)

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter (or heat olive oil) over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir to coat them in the melted butter. Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are caramelized and golden brown. If you choose to add sugar for extra caramelization, do so after about 20 minutes.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the salt, black pepper, and thyme to the pot. Stir for a minute to combine the flavors.
Pour in the gluten-free broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
To serve, ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, placing croutons or toasted bread on top of each serving. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the croutons.
Place the bowls in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free French onion soup with a fresh green salad, if desired.

This delightful French onion soup is not only rich in flavor but also versatile. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste or dietary needs! Enjoy!
