French Onion Soup recipe (with baguette and Gruyère cheese)

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians.

gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella has fewer calories, while cheddar is often less expensive.

Melt the butter with the olive oil and start cooking the onions for 30 minutes, until they are caramelized.

Add the wine and cook until the wine has evaporated, then add the flour and stir.

Add the beef stock (or vegetable stock) along with the herbs and pepper, and cook for 20 minutes on low heat with the lid on.

Meanwhile, slice the baguette as thick as a thumb and toast them until golden brown, rubbing the slices with garlic.

Pour the soup into oven-resistant cups, sprinkle a first layer of grated cheese, place the baguette slices in the cups, and top with a second layer of cheese.

Grill the soup until the cheese has melted.
