  • In large saucepan over medium heat, fry 4 bacon strips of bacon until crisp. Discard bacon. Saute onions and shallots in bacon fat until tender, about 10 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, wine and oregano; cook for 30 minutes. Stir frequently until the onions caramelize and are golden brown.
  • Blend in chicken broth. Simmer gently for 1 hour, stir occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle soup into 4 ovenproof bowls. Float the croutons on top of soup and sprinkle with grated cheese. Broil until cheese melts. Garnish with flat-leaf parsley.

  1. Made for Hail to the Chefs-Food Network Challenge in Cooking Photos. I liked it, however, I think that good ole French Onion Soup is better with beef broth. This was tastier the second day after blending flavors in the fridge. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Great needs a bit more cheese.
     
  3. This is a very easy and flavorful soup. I made it the day before which worked nicely. I love step 1 directions (eat)! Thanks for the recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I currently live in Stuart, Florida which is a great place to live. I moved here from Orlando many years ago to live the life of a beach bum and have gotten quite good at it. I am actually a Yankee, but becoming more Southern by the day. During the past several years I found an absolute love for cooking. The man in my life loves to eat so we make a good match. I absolutely love Recipezaar and can no longer live without it. I think it is great that I can see what other people think of the recipes before I try them. I have some favorite chefs and reviewers on this site and I know when I try their recipes I can never lose ! My passions are my family, my fiance', my cat (Tasha), the beach, and now cooking. My pet peeve is anyone that abuses animals. AND THIS IS A BIG PET PEEVE ! I am currently a Paralegal but can't see myself doing this forever. If I did not work, I would probably spend my time cooking and taking care of the 50-animals that I would most likely adopt.
