A Memory of French Onion Soup

"This recipe was featured on a TVFN, “Calling All Cooks” segment some time ago. As I recall, Keri Poulios's father had passed away, and she was preparing a special recipe he often made for the family. The episode was so poignant, I was in tears but could hardly wait to try the soup myself. It's excellent, IMHO. As Emeril would say, "Do you feel the love?""

directions

  • In large soup pot, melt butter with oil. Add onions and cook slowly until translucent.
  • Add sugar and flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add broth, water and seasonings and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in wines, and simmer for 2 more hours.
  • Preheat broiler. To serve, pour soup into oven- proof crocks. Place a slice of French bread on top of soup. Cover bread with lots of sliced or shredded cheese, your choice. (I prefer Gruyere).
  • Place soup crocks in oven on a sheet pan and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly. I like to place slices of cheese slightly over the edge, so it completely seals the top and melts down the side of each crock.
  • Note: Number of servings was not indicated in the recipe. I'm guessing 8-10.

  1. I have used this recipe for almost 11 years from the day the show started, we now use it as our New Years Day traditional soup, my family loves it. I would love to thank Keri Poulios for sharing this recipe that was so close to her family's heart.
     
  2. This is the recipe I have used since watching that show. This is the best as far as I am concerned.
