  • great french onion soup with a swiss cheese!!! you americans really are fucking idiots man!! that reallly is a french/swiss soup!!

  • I thought that there was only good french onion soup...

  • ROCK!!

  • Is that a La Corneu stove?

  • ok then, looks like the soup part can be made a couple of days in advance? can't find videlias or however you spell it, around here are Maui onions a good sub?

  • Hi Keith! The soup looks beautiful! I can't wait to try it out!! Only one catch though... I don't use any wine/alcohol in my cooking.. It's prohibited in my religion.. And I follow it very strictly. Could you give some tips as to how I can achieve a sweetish flavor like you described, without using the sherry? Any substitute I can try? Thanks!!

  • I love French Onion Soup - but my stomach doesn't. :'(

  • Looks great! I make my french onion soup the exact same way! Except the sherry, I think I will try that next time. Also thanks for the tip about using the right pot..that was my problem, I was using a flimsy pot and my onions were burning so I had to take them off and put them in when they were not caramelized properly..I am making it tonight, and I will be using my cast iron pot!

  • im getting french onion soup from panera, hope it;s good

  • made this, i addd a bit of apple cider and red vinegar to counteract the sweetness of the onion because i like my soup a little more tart, i also added a little bit of garlic powder to make it taste more hearty. it was good :D

  • Can I keep what I don't eat for later to bake? The soup before its baked that is. Thanks hope this hasn't been asked.

  • Three classics: 1. Use butter. 2. Use croutons, easier to eat. 3. Use small individual bouls. Nice recipe!

  • This is one of the better blogs in the field of teaching. If I don't came in for a couple of days, there are so many posts that it'llalso try this two recipes that totally make your day perfect : frenchonionsouprecipess[.]blog­spot (.) com & spinachartichokedip[.]blogspot (.) comacquire me a couple of hrs just to go all over whatever I omitted!! Praise.

  • It's pretty good looking, but the presentation was horrible. If making a tutorial video for cooking, the presentation is everything. If it's for a live class, then it's all about the steps and showing.

  • I'd use high cups for the soup, and cover the surface with cheese (and no bread) so nothing will evaporate. Then I'd present the bread separate so you can pick up the cheese to start with.

  • exellenttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­t

    

  • This morning I have been looking at videos for this dish in French, Spanish, and English. I stopped looking after I saw your version. Merci, gracias, and thanks.

  • SORRY BUT THE ORIGINAL ONION SOUP FINISHED INSIDE THE OVEN!!!!!ABOUT 35 MIN!!!

  • nc. in the house !!!! looks great

  • Keith Snow is a great chef. Explains things so clearly. He avoids all the usual nonsense you hear from the "Iron Chef" type idiots.. "Straight" to the point and clear.

  • Wonderbread is not a crouton.

  • if i hear caramelize the onions once more i will kill myself lol this guy is borderline annoying

  • -You do not want to serve this soup on a plate shown in the video, atleast use soup bowls instead, since it's alot easier to handle the soup when you need to gratinate the cheese in the oven.

    -Do no put the thyme sticks along with the leaves in the soup, if you want to enhance the flavour more to your own liking, just add more thyme. Most people will not like plant sticks in their soup ^_^.

    -Also if you want to stick with the traditional recipe, just roaster plain french bread in the oven.

  • @keithsnow, mr Snow can we use Mozarella cheese instead of gruyere coz in Indonesia we can't find any gruyere cheese

  • @imperialguard2

    Well, that ain't really a sharp cheese, is it?

    You should go for a rather aged cheese, somewhat similar to the Gruyere ;)

  • I love how after i look at ur recipes, i dont need to skim through youtube for other vides for the same recipe(COUGHexpertvillageCOUGH­). very well explained. and they always cmoe out tasty. BUT, my recent problem, since going on a new workout routine, is you have very few low fat recipes. But nice show :)

  • You state that you can't substitute Greyere cheese; that's bogus. I make my french onion soup with Emmentaler cheese, which is also a swiss cheese as Greyere is.

  • @Calbenmike also, classically you're supposed to use a small crock that has a ridge on it, not that style of bowl.

  • @Calbenmike You actually cook the soup in a 400 degree oven for at least 30-35 minutes too.

  • this soup is good

  • G'day Keith,

    Love your recipe. We just had mushroom soup today.

    regards,

    Edmund

  • Oh, my god this is just perfect

  • Best french onion soup is made by the Back Bay restaurant group of Boston....seriously the best

  • Well, then it depends on who you sell it to! lol. Fruits, vegetables, eggs are naturally kosher, and almost EVERYONE would buy them no problem. But anything processed or in the same factory (potentially) as something else would have to be watched by a pro. You can't really say its kosher and sell it if an authority on the matter doesn't agree. There are items with just a "K" on them, with no special symbol, and those the company deems kosher, but most religious Jews won't buy them.

  • being present to ensure the process is legit. All other salts are kosher as well, be they called 'fine' salt etc. Google kosher symbols, there are many, and you will notice they are on many foods everyone already eats (usually not items with meat in them as they only eat kosher meat that is slaughtered in a certain way). It is different than communion being blessed by a priest, as we may be used to. Kosher is not for ritual, it is for everyday consumption. I emailed you more info, turns out.

  • @RavenC1357 so if I go to the ocean, and dry up some water, package it as salt, and sell it, it's Kosher?  I don't think it's quite that simple. From my understanding a Rabbi has to supervise the production. Or is it a mere difference of "naturally Kosher" vs "Certified Kosher"... maybe that's where I'm lost.

  • It is NOT blessed. I used to work for a Jewish organization (that little circled U on the packaging) and know from personal experience. What kosher certified means is that it ADHERES to the biblical laws of kashrut. So shrimp can never be kosher but candy can for example, depending on how it is processed. "Kosher salt" is called that because of it being traditionally used to absorb blood (kosher meat can not have blood in it). A food BEING kosher has to do with a rabbi (mashgiach) (cont.)

  • @RavenC1357

    Dude, who cares, good food is good food.

  • I really love French onion soup.One of my favorites next to broccoli cheese soup :D

  • Lol, its not blessed.  But it is used in salting meat to make it kosher most often because of the size. Fine salt doesn't work. Also the thicker chunks have a slightly different flavor.

  • @RavenC1357 um, yeah, actually it is blessed... otherwise it would be called "coarse salt"... look on several packages in the grocery store, you'll see they are all approved for passover as they have been processed in accordance of the Torah. BTW Kieth, love your vids...

  • Hi Keith! Cooked this for my family for our New Year's dinner. They loved it, even my usually fussy little sister. Thanks for sharing!

  • Every "chef" makes this soup their own way ! Is there one reciepe for all ?

  • not really..try different versions until you find the one that makes you happy!

    Keith

    PS just make sure you caramelize the onions until they are mahogany brown...

  • @AntonMoscowCity Thyme, beef broth, sharp alcohol, and caramalizing the onions. Besides those steps the variations are nutty. I personally enjoy Mozarella and swiss on my soup.

  • what is kosher salt?

  • just a type of salt that is "flakier" than iodized salt and it's blessed by a rabbai to be suitable for passover

    Keith

  • @keithsnow You're joking about it being blessed by a Rabbi right? lol

  • @keithsnow

    Sorry "chef", wrong about the salt being "blessed" by a rabbi. All salt is kosher. No salt needs to be "blessed". The reason its called kosher salt is because it is the salt most commonly used to extract the blood from meat. As per Jewish and Islamic customs, consumption of blood is Non-Kosher, or Harram.

  • @keithsnow kosher does not mean blessed by a rabbi. kosher salt, because of its flakiness is used to draw blood out of meat, in order to make it kosher, kosher salt is NOT necessarily certified kosher. as a Jewish woman it always bothered me to hear these sorts of misconceptions and I just want to set the record straight.

  • @O2BSoLucky if you don't know, your ass shouldn't be cooking.

  • Hi Keith,

    Is it possible to melt the cheese with a torch instead of in the oven? Since I wanna bring this dish for Thanksgiving the oven is filled with a... turkey :)

    Cheers!

  • sorry for the late reply...been getting hammered with comments so it's hard to keep up.....answer is yes!

    Best

    keith

  • Thanks for sharing!

  • thanks for watching

    Keith

  • im vegetarian

    so... can i trade the beef broth?

  • yup...veggie broth is fine......I would make my own..but if buying, simmer some carrots, celery, bay leaf and onion it it for 20 minutes or so before using in soup...

    watch sodium too on store bought stocks...

    keith

  • thx very much!

  • is that good or bad?

    Keith

  • Have you seen my video At "chefminetti" on youtube? on french onion soup? what do yopu think?

  • will check it out thanks

    Keith

  • Comment removed

  • Watching these videos, actually inspire me to talk to myself while making a simple tomato and cue cumber sandwhich with salmon. Kind of wierd but cooking might be my profession that i would like to take up, how long did it take you to become what you are today?

  • Nah, i just dont really care how people pronounce something. It really matters if you can just either sound it out or say it just good enough for someone to understand it. Some people on the internet tend to be alittle under educated, you are just wasting your time arguing with the trollers that roam around on youtube.

  • HAHAHAHA they had this at a school trip we went to near toronto. Im not to fond of onions but since it was soup i tried it... My bottom 10 dishes forsure. Just because onions are not what im to fond of.

  • Lol , keith a word of advice, When u fight with a brit on a online video watching site, you wont lose or win. They talk about the most ignorant things in this world, sometimes you just can reply. Just forget him please:D

  • no doubt...but can't stand people who lecture others on ridiculous things..like the pronunciation of "caramelize"...I guess that was your point....

    Keith

  • "carmelise" it's "CARAMELISE" bloody americans.

  • this is why we formed our own country..you brits think you know it all..

    Keith

  • errr? make your own language then or speak ours properly.

  • dude..you must have something better to do then lecture people on English language usage...

    Keith

  • i ve read that almost any kind of plastic utensils release toxin when heated. i ve seen experts switch back to wood for cooking. can anyone confirm what is correct?

  • hello, it looks delicious!

    could you please tell me what was the amount of beef broth you added?

    thanks,

    paul

  • 6 cups

    Keith

  • Couldn't you just make 'French Soup' instead of 'French Onion Soup' ?

    lol

    Not a big fan of onions.....

  • yeah..you;d have beef consume or similar.

    Best,

    Keith

  • yippee!

    Keith

  • How long did you boil after adding the beef stock? Looks Great!

  • about 15 minutes

    keith

  • thanks....it works well...I had this soup in France this summer...it was well done!

    check me out on Harvest Eating...

    keith

    Keith

    harvest eating

  • nice to hear...thanks for watching

    Keith

  • One question, when you go to a restaurant and order french onion soup, is it supposed to be a eat-like-a-meal soup or part of an entree?

  • ive never tried french onion soup im trying it right now doesnt look pretty maybe i messed up mine looks really light brown can u tell me wats wrong too much water?

  • the colour really depends on how caramalized your onions are, and the colour of the broth that you use.

  • thank u!

  • Caved Aged?  I like I how you kind of know what your talking about. However, seems like a fun recipe to try. Thanks

  • I love it, It looks so good!!!!!!

  • I approve your recipe just by watching.

    All steps and time seem OK.

    I have already rejecte one which takes many hours to make, yours looks fine. I shall try it out, sure. Thanks

  • I think red onions work better in this dish and use chicken broth(iow salt) with the beef broth helps alot!

  • yes..red onions are great here..sweeter..

    Keith

  • Man i made this following a Sandra Lee recipe and it doesnt look that good, but its not done yet... About 2 more hours of cooking, Hopefully it's just as good.

  • howd it turn out

  • looks nice, i want to try

  • i like fruit on mine

  • Wow! That looks amazing and i loovvee french onion soup. I will definately try this recipe and thank you soo much for making such and informative vid!! I have subscribed:)

  • i put lettuce on top of mine- it gets wilted nicely under the broiler

  • I just made it yummy!!! its really good THANKS!!!

  • I'm gonna make this tomorrow hopefully :D

  • well, I was kidding, but if it works, then hey....go for it....by the way, do you have any idea how long it took for me to get that bottle of Mrs. Butterworth to talk? a loooong time. but what she had to say was scary, so I stopped....

  • I had a friend in college who swore he got her to talk, but he used a ton of acid daily....

  • I find if you add about a pint of Mrs. Butterworth, it works well too...

  • Yes, I agree. No one makes it with syrup anymore. It's a classic way to prepare it.

  • you are a nifty

  • thanx for the great recipe, think ill try it!

  • Look good but looks like lots of salt

  • salt is good for you and makes everything taste better.

  • salt isnt THAT great for you.

  • This dish seems perfect for danish autum, so I'll deff. be tryin this.

    Whats the brand og the pots you are using, and also you grater? I recognize the grater, but not the pot.

    Keep up the organic cooking, I love it :-)

  • Nice clip, making it now

  • WOW, doesn't get any better then that, thanks!
