French Onion Soup | It Starts with the Caramelized Onions 🧅

In this week’s Cookbook Club, I’m making Classic French Onion Soup the traditional way, starting with properly caramelized onions. This is where the flavor is built. No shortcuts. No rushing. Just slow, steady cooking that transforms simple onions into deeply rich and savory caramelized onions. We are using a Staub French Oven. It is similar to the Staub Cocotte and it is enameled cast iron. It is a great piece of cookware for making French Onion Soup!
