Welcomne to EPISODE 4 of DIPS FOR DINNER where I take
popular dip recipes and turn them into a delicious dinner!
Today we’re enjoying FRENCH ONION BEAN SOUP WITH
CHEESY BREAD! This delicious and cozy soup is reminiscent
of French onion chip dip complete with a creamy cheesy
bread on top.
Here’s the recipe, friends!
INGREDIENTS:
3 tbsp butter
2 medium onions sliced thin
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
pinch chili flakes
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp water
1x 540ml can beans
3 1/2 cups beef broth
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2-3x thick slices of bread
2-3 tbsp cracked pepper Boursin cheese
1/2-3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Caramelize onions: Melt butter in a medium pot over
medium heat. Add sliced onions, 1/2 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp
salt to the pan and stir. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, then
remove the lid and turn to medium low heat. Cook the onions
for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes so the onions
don’t burn. They will be a nice golden colour when they’re
fully caramelized.
2. Turn to medium heat and stir in the minced garlic, pepper,
1/2 tsp salt and pinch of chilli flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes
until fragrant. Then add in the balsamic vinegar and water,
cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
3. Add the beef broth, beans, fresh thyme sprigs and stir to
combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a
boil. Turn to medium low to keep at a simmer for about
15-20 minutes until reduced slightly. Taste and adjust
seasonings with more salt and pepper if desired. Remove
from the heat.
4. Make the toast: Turn the heat on the oven to a low broil.
Add 2-3 slices of thick bread to a sheetpan and toast under
low broil for 1-2 minutes to just crisp. Remove from the ovenand spread about 1 tbsp cracked pepper Boursin cheese on
each slice of bread. Top with 1/4 cup shredded gruyere
cheese per slice and broil on low until cheese is melted and
bubbling.
5. Serve the soup in bowls topped with the cheesy bread and
fresh thyme for garnish if desired.
