4 onions, 1 pair of sunglasses, and a dream.🧅🕶️😂

We’re making homemade French onion soup, and yes, I needed protective eyewear to survive the onions!

Slowly caramelized onions, rich beef broth, toasted baguette, and a ridiculous amount of melty cheese. SO GOOD! 🧀🤎

And I’d show you the beautiful finished soup, but my family ate it before I could film it. THE AUDACITY! 💀😂

🧅 HOMEMADE FRENCH ONION SOUP RECIPE

Ingredients:

* 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
* 4 tbsp unsalted butter
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
* ½ cup dry white wine
* 6 cups beef broth
* ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* ½ tbsp soy sauce
* ½ tsp dried thyme
* 1 bay leaf
* Salt & pepper, to taste
* 1 baguette, sliced
* 1½–2 cups freshly grated Gruyère cheese
* Fresh parsley, optional

Directions:

1. Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 35–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized. Patience is key!
2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add flour, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
3. Pour in white wine, scraping up all those flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
4. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and bay leaf. Simmer for 20–30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
5. Lightly toast your baguette slices and freshly grate the cheese.
6. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted baguette slices, and generously sprinkle with Gruyère.
7. Broil for 2–4 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is golden, bubbly, and absolutely irresistible!
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and ENJOY! 🤎

✨ TIP: Don’t rush caramelizing the onions! That’s the secret to a rich, flavorful French onion soup.
