As a french onion soup consumer I agree with everything except one : what is this poor white cheese on top of the bread, no mold or rotten milk on it, what a shame ! Use Comté the next time !
omg the beginning of the video, I SCREAMED!! I thought, WAIT!! did I click on a rachel ray video or a serious eats video?! ONION soup is my favorite WORKING CLASS PROLETARIAT PEASANT DISH, so I wasn't really sure at first when I saw the initial review. I knew it couldn't be true if DANIEL was involved since he's a real PROF. anywho, I am on my 2nd hour of cooking the onions, I actually used a combo of yellow, red, and shallots because i only had like 4 small yellow onions left, and the recipe called for 3 pounds, and so to get it up to 3 i had to add a red and some shallots! I'm so glad I did now that I saw this video! Daniel is the man! It's so sad he's STRAIGHT AND MARRIED!!!
Fish sauce or Worcestshire sauce both provide a savory note as well as umami.
Yes I do prefer chicken stock as it's generally lighter than beef stock and generally more accessible to the home cook, since beef stock production is time intensive.
Finally. Someone who knows how to make onion soup. And I don't mean the 'right' way – there isn't one. Horses for courses. I've enjoyed many different variations, and the only ones I didn't like weren't so much 'wrong' as they were prepared by people with little idea or care about the principles involved, especially where caramelisation is concerned. I make onion soup in a very similar way to this, and I can only say to beginners – there are different techniques to making this soup, but if you're a beginner, this video is one of the best places to start.

I like to burn my onions a bit when I'm making something like j-style curry
Dont forget the onion guys

The only downside to french onion soup (if there is such a thing) is that it stays scalding hot literally forever.
onions suck!
What kind of cheese to use?
The first part of the video was so unnecessary
Looks so 😋✨ delicious
What about putting thyme in it?
That first part make me cringe so hard I actually crumpled myself

I want to try this with cashew cheese 🧀 😁 yummmm
It’s recipe that I wanted to see!!! Thank you!!
Had me scared for a minute there.
How much butter?
Okay someone was super pissed on another scale of being passive agressive when they made the intro.
so it tastes like onion 🤔🤢
Too much stretched commentary rather than cooking.
They had us in the first half ngl
You're pro easy not to much extra perfect.

I use onion soup mix.
I went to Serious Eats for J.Kenji Lopez-Alt, I stay for Dan Gritzer. I make his tomato-sauce from Roma's+ until I'm weary. Fab stuff.
How to make French onion soup flavoured bread 🍞! With cheese on top. Ugh.

Thanks for all recipes
For my French onion soup I use veg stock.
No cognac? Lol fish sauce gtfo
Stop wasting so much onion!
2025 note: cooking this soup and finding out that none of my bowls are oven/broiler safe was a big downer. Plan ahead!
