JULIA CHILD'S FRENCH ONION SOUP
Steps:
- Place a heavy-bottom stockpot or dutch oven on a stove over medium-low heat. Add cooking oil and butter. Saute onions until evenly coated with oil and butter.
- Cover the pot and let it sit until onions are soft and translucent, about 20 minutes. For caramelized onions, turn the heat to medium or medium-high. Stir in sugar and salt and cook uncovered, stirring often until onions are browned and reduced.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the flour. Stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the flour and butter form a thick paste. If paste not achieved, add more butter.
- Mix in 1 cup of warm beef stock. Scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching. Stir in the remaining stock and wine. Let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
- For the croutons or toasted bread, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Drizzle bread with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake the bread for 15 minutes at 325 degrees F. Flip the slices over and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Once the soup has simmered, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the soup into a casserole dish. Stir in cognac, the 1/2 raw onion (grated), and a few ounces of Swiss cheese.
- Top the soup with toasted bread in a single layer. Top the bread with the remaining Swiss and Parmesan cheese. Be sure all the edges of bread are covered to avoid burning. Drizzle with oil or melted butter.
- Bake the casserole at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Turn on the broiler and brown the cheeses.
- Let the soup cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

A UNIQUE FRENCH ONION SOUP
This version has some inclusions you may not expect to see in french onion soup. We love it at my house and hope that you will too. Feel free to substitute the fresh herbs with a few pinches of dried. Also, depending on your tastes, you can use a dry red wine or only brandy.

Steps:
- Place the stick of butter in the bottom of a large pot, at least 6 quarts.
- If you have one, place a mandolin slicer on top of your pot and thinly slice the peeled onions, not paper thin, preferably, directly into the pot. A food processor or good ol' fashioned sharp knife works fine too. I like to slice the onions in half, from root to tip, before slicing thin.
- Saute the onions and butter (and a pinch of salt and pepper) over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 1-1 1/2 hours, or until onions are soft and caramelized and pretty much all of the liquid has evaporated. It is best to stir the onions only occasionally to encourage proper caramelization and browning.
- While the onions are cooking, place all the herbs and bay leaf in a square of cheese cloth and tie with a piece of kitchen twine to make a small pouch. Tea filter bags, small mesh jelly bags, and hop socks work as well. Set aside for now.
- Once onions are caramelized, and reduced quite a bit, add the cocoa powder, brown sugar, and all purpose flour. Stir well to make sure they are well incorporated with the onions. Deglaze the bottom of the pot with the wine and brandy, making sure to scrape up any brown bits (fond) with a wooden spoon. Let the alcohol simmer out until mostly evaporated.
- Now add the herb pouch to the onion mixture. Also add both the beef and chicken stock. You can use only beef, but the mixture of the beef and chicken stocks makes for a richer, more elegant tasting soup. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat.
- Once soup comes to a simmer, add the soy sauce and worcestershire sauce. Let soup simmer for up to another 30-45 minutes, or until it has reduced to almost half. Remove the herb pouch and taste soup to see if it needs salt or pepper. Turn on your broiler.
- Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with a slice of toasted french bread and some of the cheese. We really like a blend of Provolone and Gruyere. Swiss would also work here. Place the bowls of soup on a baking sheet and heat until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown in your broiler. Depending on the bowls you choose, you can get about 4 first course or 6 smaller appetizer portions out of one pot. This soup is even better the next day, if you can wait, since the flavors will have more time to meld.

Steps:
- Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- When you're ready to eat, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the slices with the Gruyere and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup in bowls and float several of the Gruyere croutons on top.
- Alternative method: Ladle the soup into bowls, top each with 2 slices of bread and top with cheese. Put the bowls into the oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese.

Steps:
- Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onions and fry with the lid on for 10 mins until soft.
- Sprinkle in the sugar and cook for 20 mins more, stirring frequently, until caramelised. The onions should be really golden, full of flavour and soft when pinched between your fingers. Take care towards the end to ensure that they don't burn.
- Add the garlic cloves for the final few minutes of the onions' cooking time, then sprinkle in the plain flour and stir well.
- Increase the heat and keep stirring as you gradually add the wine, followed by the beef stock. Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins.
- To serve, turn on the grill, and toast the bread. Ladle the soup into heatproof bowls.
- Put a slice or two of toast on top of the bowls of soup, and pile on the gruyère. Grill until melted. Alternatively, you can cook the toasts under the grill, then add them to the soup to serve.
