French Onion Soup Recipe

[TheSuperIdentity]

What happens if you don't add wine to the soup?

[pkhitz96]

This sucks

[DarkDeath211]

@walshamite rape oil guessing that's a mistake and you ment grape but I have connolia oil here and it not grape oil

[TheTubeTrooper]

nice recipe

[mystery9468]

Seriously?!?!?! Water?!?!?! Wow, just wow.

[wizdumb420]

water? eww wtf??!?!?!?

[nightfireivey]

Another good way of browning the onions and sweetening the soup slightly is to use sugar when you saute the onions.

[dutchpkzlove]

can i eat that is the alcol gone after cooking????

cause i may not have alcol

[SpikyMarkk]

i agreed she forgot the wine also the instead of beef broth she should use the white stock to make it even better flavor!!!

[beanfromex1]

ok, so she didnt brown the bones in the oven to make the stock, this would be a reasonable quickie substitute if she added a bit of dry red wine to the broth,cracked pepper and lea and perrins to give the stock more depth.

[confettistar]

booze makes it better.

[DeRex9]

Suggestion: Brown the onions with some vegetable oil. Do not use margarine or canola oil. At the end of browning add some butter for flavor and take off heat right away. Remember that butter oxidizes, burns easily and does not tolerate heat, unlike vegetable or peanut oil. Cheers, :)

[walshamite]

@DeRex9 Just to be clear, canola oil is the US name for rape seed oil - it is merely a normal low saturate vegetable oil. Many chefs use a butter-plus-oil combo for the caramelizing onion slow fry stage - flavour from the butter while the oil raises the smoking point. :)

[DeRex9]

@walshamite But isn't canola oil (rapeseed oil) chemically processed to be usable for consumption? I just would like to stay away from altered foodstuffs. What is your thought on that ?. Thank you for reply.

[FlypaperGirlSangue]

@DeRex9 use clarified butter

[oldgermaninn]

b.s. thats is NOT a french onion soup. you forgot the wine!!!!!! do not tell people that YOU know french onion soup! authentic is different!

[summerkindagirl1]

Thanks for the recipe, this looks like a good one! Side Note: I feel accomplished because I'm one of the few people who actually posted a relevant comment...

[chefgiovanni]

You can get Onion Soup Bowls & more @ Chef Depot . c o m 

[VickiLeek]

I used to hate this, now I cannot get enough. It's like a drug.

[lili51]

I'm french and i feel offended by this ! FUCKERIE !

[prettyeven]

@lili51 bonjour, i am trying to make gratinee a l'oignon and have been looking around for a great recipe. i know most have some vin in it. may i know why this recipe offended you?

[EnoughWords]

@lili51 Why?!!

[menderfire9]

@EnoughWords Well, in a word: The French are French! They have great pride, style and romance in everything that they do, especially in their food and drink preparation and serving. This video sounded like it could have been done by wind-up doll, an actress or an automated voice, not a lover of food or cooking. It's pretty brash, if you know what I mean. You don't have to be French to see that (although it helps ... I'm part French.)

Just sayin'

[CyclopsPL]

@lili51 You guys always feel offended.

[Justic3h]

@lili51 oui haha.... french onion soup madame ?? hahaha c quoi çaaaa ?? y rient de nous c definitif haha anglais stupide :)

[cantchangeme89]

@Justic3h DO YOU HAVE ANY TRADITIONAL RECIPE YOU CAN SHARE ? I'M STUDYING GASTRONOMY AND WE ARE CHECKING FRENCH CUISINE.

I DIDN'T LIKE THIS RECIPE, I WANT A GOOD ONE. I WOULD REALLY APRECIATTE YOU LISTEN MY REQUEST. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[alinajustme11]

@lili51 why ?

[Mark737408]

@lili51 Im scottish and i can see why you would offended by this lol Its awful.

[rhymeskill]

@lili51 Be offended, and do nothing just like you did in WWII.

[starindamaking25]

i tried onion soup before, but i didn't like it. the soup is more like water with rotten onion. the toast is soak up and disintegrated. not a good recipe dish for me

[nonmeaculpa]

@starindamaking25 I can relate... however, I think any onion soup is much better with some type of booze in it (typically sherry). Another way to keep the bread from getting unpleasantly soggy is to leave it out to stale for a few hours before you toast it. And obviously, one can't forget to be liberal with the salt...

[bungasyakirinairawan]

wow i looks delicious

must try it! ^^

[Desi4evah]

Does onion soup have beef broth in it? Oh, shucks! This totally killed it for me. Now I will have to think about it! :S

[munchy040]

@Desi4evah you dont have to stick to the recipe exactly i find by adding xtra ingredients i get better results !

[cameraguy1968]

@Desi4evah

oh no a vegetarian...



[18queen4ever]

suggestion here

why don't put some words on the video so that people know it well

[LydiaCosmetics]

Can you use a vegetarian broth for this?

[fastasthewind3]

@LydiaCosmetics no

[Darthbelal]

@LydiaCosmetics no, the reaction between the vegetable broth and the caramelized onions produces a bitter alkaloid that makes the soup extremely inedible and will kill you if you insist on eating it.........

[sillyz11]

@PeterStorm81 You must come from a different Holland than I come from, because the Holland where I come from, butter and margerine DO NOT mean the same thing!

[lillianavictoria]

"can of broth" is about 475 gram

[lillianavictoria]

"can of broth" is about 475 gram

[LexNemiroff1]

I try it,it's coool!

[TheFilipp93]

what is a fresh time at 1:06?

[angelah826]

@TheFilipp93 thyme! google it!

[angelah826]

@TheFilipp93  it's thyme not time! google it!

[ss11s]

just a bad recipe.

[PeterStorm81]

Can anyone help me with this.

How many liters of broth is a "can of broth", as is being used in this video.

[MrMephiston]

Actually margarine is only 1 molecule away from being platic...I do not eat it. Not just because of this knowledge, but also because it is revolting :p

[durgaaa]

I'd like to replace beef broth with clear chicken broth. Anyone try that yet ?

[cameronmullins]

@durgaaa You can but it would lack the deep richness of the beef broth. Chicken can go with cheese but chicken broth doesnt mesh too well with a swiss. I mean try it if you like chicken more but nothing cuts the onion and cheese as well as a bit of white wine and beef broth. Also instead of water do more beef broth, when left to simmer for a long time the flavors become one a lot better and the house permiates with the smell of amazing soup. I kinda wanna try some shrooms in mine.

[durgaaa]

@cameronmullins --White wine is better with beef broth than red wine ?

[cameronmullins]

@durgaaa For this one. The acid is less harsh in the white for this soup combo. If it were something with a bit more substance like a stew then its the opposite cause it just adds a sharp flavor that ties in the food vs cutting things down.

[cagney322]

french onion soup madame?

[doraji1027]

Can I use olive oil ?

[durgaaa]

@doraji1027 -for rich flavor, I would use half olive oil, half butter, but olive oil is really not good for cooking because its flavor is so delicious. There is a LOT of heat applied to this recipe! 45 min of carmelizing onions, plus 15 more mins, heat broth to boil, then simmer 30 min, then bake with cheese 12 more minutes. All that time the olive oil is cooking to death! There really is no substitute for the flavor of butter. Coconut oil is healthy and best for heat but has no flavor.

[racewars05]

I just made it and the caramalised onions are soooo devinee! this is the best winter dish you can ever imagine ! thumps up! x

[racewars05]

@racewars05 and i used butter in stead of margarine, it's much better x

[PixelFacesUTUBE]

Well, I'm about to cook it WITH BUTTER so I'll let you know if its YUMMY :o)

[ihatefatpeople3000]

If you dumb health fanatics are always complaining about fucking butter being fattening, a solution comes out, thats margerine, then you gotta say something about that, why don't you stop eating all together? that be way easier for me

[apoka17]

i´m cooking this soup tomorrow in my first french food class! ho ho ho. Easy!

[dukzaza]

i can eat it.

[KonaKingUK]

Mmm, i could eat about 6 bowls of that right now

[stmax555]

french bread? that bread looked like factory made bread. WMD

[gummybear654]

this looks good. our recipe is a bit different though... we do use the onions and we add seasoning and croutons. then we put a slice of cheese on the top (it covers the whole thing) and the steam underneath melts it. anyways, i have to try THIS  recipe. it looks great!

[AndyMcArren1356]

omg i am drinking it right now!

[gawdzila]

No recipe that calls for margarine instead of butter could be that good. Margarine isn't even better for you, in fact it's worse -- it is essentially 100% pure trans fat. Not only that, it doesn't taste even half as good. And 4 parts water to 1 part beef stock? Bah! Fail!

[GothChilde6969]

@gawdzila if it is a condensed beef stock then all you would be doing is adding volume to the soup. Depends how you make your beef stock. Don't use store-bought and you will be fine.

[GothChilde6969]

@GothChilde6969 in any case, add 1/4 cup sherry wine and 1 tbsp sherry vinegar, and you can sub out the 4 cups water : 1 cup stock with 3 cups beef stock 2 cups chicken stock 1 cup water and the taste is better imho.

[kyproula88]

yummmmmmm

[bugsbunny2022]

Afterwards add the stock to the carmalised onions along with a glass of white wine. Simmer for an hour and adjust the seasoning. add a dash of brandy. Toast french bread on both sides, rub a cut garlc clove onto the top side and butter. Add grated Gruyere cheese and toast under grill until bubing. Add soupto bowls and add the toasted cheese crouton. Enjy. Bon appetite.

[Qlicky]

Baaah margarine?! Margarine is made of vegetable oil, butter from cream. That alone makes a LOT of difference!

[bugsbunny2022]

My way of making them. Melt butter in large pot. Add 2 cloves of Garlic, along with 4 to 6 Onions, a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook for 15 mins over a low heat. At this point add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to carmalise the onions. At this point you add the stock.(Beforehand you would have browned in the oven 1 large marrowbone. When i has browned add 4 pints of water, salt and pepper and a bay leave, brugt to the biol and simmered for p to 4 hours, removing any accumualated scum).

[antoni777]

no wine?

bad

[GothChilde6969]

@antoni777 sherry. 1/4 cup.

[QueenSemiramis]

Yummy!

No bread or cheese for me, tho!

:(

[aussiedownunderman]

yum

[lecornel]

mmmm tasty... im gonna make some..

[afhey24]

,.what is the exact recipe?

[seetheredradiator]

is this 2000 calories/tablespoon?

[Isus1]

A typical comment from a stupid American

[seetheredradiator]

lol I am European....only Americans eat liquid pizza and they call it soup...

[rawimpact]

@seetheredradiator only in europe does a country go bankrupt, only in europe are gays treated like upper class, only in europe do they lose wars

[mxmasternl]

@rawimpact: Only in the usa a complete state ravaged by a hurricane is left dangling. Only in the usa people think they are living in the best country in the world but gang wars and high school shoot outs happen. Only in the usa uninsured people die in a first world country because they are rejected the proper medicine and medical threatment. Thank God I live in Europe. Oh..and nice going with the bank crysis dude. About the soup: nice and simple recipe. Tasted better then I expected!

[rawimpact]

@mxmasternl Reply when your country is relevant to the rest of the world... until then shut the fuck up and cry that half the world doesn't know where the netherlands are...

[mxmasternl]

@rawimpact : Whahaha! This undereducated redneck thinks Holland is the capital of Amsterdam and Paris is a country. He had to google where the Netherlands are LOL! I am so sorry you didn't finish high school and ended up like the dumb nitwit you are. I guess you are so happy to be living in a country which has been so positively in the news the past decade. We all know where the USA is because not a week goes by without news of another disaster related to US foreign and domestic events.

[rawimpact]

@mxmasternl i don't think you know your own capital... there hasn't been a single problem living here... when people are jealous of our way of living they'll attack. AGain, reply when the Netherlands has any influence on any country.

[GothChilde6969]

@rawimpact Turbonegro is a punk band from the Netherlands. The lead singer influences Bam Margera, an american skateboarder.

The Dudesons are from Holland. They were doing what the guys in Jackass do years before they made a t.v. show, while also having their own. They will appear in Jackass 3D.

Every country has an influence on each other. This is called a Global Network. We are all linked in some way. Embrace it.

[rawimpact]

@GothChilde6969 Sure, but not all are as significant

[GothChilde6969]

@rawimpact the significance depends on the person in question. It is not significant to you because you either do not notice it every day or you do not depend on the influence.

If people stopped listening to Turbonegro however, then Bam would try to raise awareness of them, which he did in one of his episodes of Viva la Bam.

Netherlands exports to America, if they stopped exporting then you would definately notice regardless of how you felt about the fact.

[PKhereford]

mmmm, calorific.

[Chillax1st]

am Hungry...really

[Mikez4]

"French onion soup madame??" LOL is there a cornier voiceover voice anywhere?

[theMilkz]

that line made me cringe like nothing else. ugh..

[musicmastimagic007]

Tempting!

[jerrycatalan]

Nice stuff.

[realisticHomeboy]

What? Fry onions for 45 minutes before turning to low?!?!?! They would be complete burned by then.

[HikariHime29]

@realisticHomeboy,

They will caramelize before burning. Also, by adding the salt, it will draw the liquid out which creates a lay between the heat and the onions to prevent charing.

[tehmaine]

The only recommendations I have are as follows: chop the onions instead of slicing them, and add just a touch of dry sherry while cooking.

[bantingjor]

those arnt ur recommendations thats jus from the vid before this one hahahah...ps dutch oven = hilarious!

[BlinkinFirefly]

HAHAHAHAA! i totally forgot what "dutch oven" meant and then i saw this comment =D

[BlinkinFirefly]

nah i disagree about chopping, the sliced onions are more traditional...thats the only way ive ever seen it done, but i bet some sherry wouldnt be bad...

[chevon1920]

Are you serious? That is so freaking easy.

[katuray33]

ill try

[Julien1123]

that looks soooo good!

[ozztenn]

I have a wonderful cream of horse soup! send me a message for the recipe!

[38stallion]

Shame on you for posting a pathetic lazy version of french onion soup. You missed a ton of ingredients to give that soup the flavor it deserves.

[sjknyc23]

i was just thinking the exact same thing!

[sullimandable]

Could you use vege stock??

[Tammy166]

sullimandable: Yes, you may use vegetable stock. That's what the vegetarian version is made with. :)

[cheddarhobbit6]

delicous...i personally use provolone cheese on mine

[kc2rjb]

Add a good splash (1/2 cup)of Midera wine after you add the water, the wine offers a nice flavor...

[UnwashedGoblin]

mniam i must say the right recipe here

[blake983]

Im not so sure about cooking the onions until they go completely soggy. I like to dice instead of slice and fry them only until they are slightly golden.

[HeadlessEye]

You're missing out on a lot of flavor by not caramelizing them thoroughly.

[ReckonItsOn]

Melting Margarine makes me think of separating chemicals. Margarine is to butter what astro turf is to grass

[QueenSemiramis]

@ReckonItsOn

Margarine should be outlawed!

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

except margarine is exactly like butter except instead of milkfat, its uses vegetable fat. butter clarified is just oil like canola and/or olive oil to make a vegetable butter basically. the coloring is fake, bleach broccoli or dye cauliflower in leaf tincture. different species but your still getting the same thing,margarine is to butter as what cauliflower is to broccoli. do you rly care which except for specific applications?

[GothChilde6969]

@Pimpmastahanhduece actually, margarine was invented by someone who was trying to invent a new film to replace polaroid. He made a plastic out of the vegetable oil and left it in his cupboard over night and it turned into margarine. You are eating plastic.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

butter is also a plastic in that case.

[GothChilde6969]

@Pimpmastahanhduece not so. butter is churned cow milk. the excess fat coagulates and causes butter to form, this is a natural process.

Margarine is the marriage of various chemicals used in the production of various synthetic plastics (mainly those used to make the type to make the outside mold of a phone) and vegetable oil. During the aging process of 24 hours in a dry, cool place this plastic breaks itself down and becomes an edible plastic known as margarine.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

granted, many times the emulsifier is synthetic, and butter obviously needs no extra. but just because using synthetic emulsifiers is often employed to make the process cost effective to mass produce on the scale they do, but quick chilling and fast mixing, you can achieve a supersaturated solution like icecream. the emulsifiers make also be there to control the melting temperature to imitate butter. ive made my own margarine, using half well filtered olive oil, it comes out rly well.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

but also, many organic chemicals are synthesized to make nonbiologically related applications. cellulose film, gelatin film, ect. can u say coca cola is any less natural. all organically derived except unnatural carbonated acidic water.

[Studjeff4]

and one spreg of fresh what? pime?

[ArielXSecret]

thyme! ^^

[h4lfm00nz]

lmaooo even tho ur probably not trying to be funny....

[Studjeff4]

no rly i dont no what it is

[gaelicscots]

this womans stupid voice is horrendously irritating

[ukguy]

45 mins to caramalise onions :-0

[BlinkinFirefly]

hahahahahaa!!! why is that bad? (love the emoticon) =P

[xthexrealxsupermanx]

The soup itself, without the bread and melted cheese, tastes good. But of course, without those, it would just be called onion soup.

[mouna28]

Yes, it is...

[mouna28]

Butter is better than margarine : not at all the same taste !

[theslayer22]

agreed. is it just me or does margarine taste slightly like molten plastic?

[NationUPSB]

@theslayer22 Margarine is only one molecule away from being plastic, so you're not far off.

[baiut71]

@theslayer22

not just you ... i feel the same!

[0Nathre0]

@theslayer22 did you burn your tongue after taste molten plastic? xD I can't tell the taste of molten plastic, sorry :p

[missnerdgirl]

@theslayer22 I've heard that margarine is ONE chemical or molecule away from being plastic. Ew.

[SASJKL]

@theslayer22 haha, when i was a kid, my mom only gave us margarine and i loved it. that is until i tasted butter :p

[durgaaa]

@theslayer22 --Just say NO Margarine. And be done with it !

[infinityplusoneis0]

@theslayer22

I've never eaten molten plastic so I couldn't say for sure

[PeterStorm81]

@theslayer22 In holland were i come from, margarine and butter mean the exact same thing :)

So i have to say yes its you :D

[carlitines81]

I made this, it came out excellent. Great video and great recipe.

[Satronn]

The correct spelling for the cheese is

Gruyère

[Dianerd]

has any one tried making this?

[Satronn]

I just made it with a little compromising, Wheat bread, swiss cheese and I ground up some mushrooms as well, then added beef boullon,,

It turned out just great

[vikaleeanessa]

[ronny2471]

[phoenix8765]

Wow. I'm all for a little kink to spice up my life but ur comment just blew my mind. I guess there really is all kinds of people in the world

[ronny2471]
