Description

A heartwarming soup that blends flavorful French onion soup with rich beef short ribs, topped with gooey Gruyère cheese for a comforting, indulgent experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef short ribs
  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 baguette, sliced
  • 2 cups Gruyère cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the onions: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they turn a deep golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Add garlic: Once caramelized, toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Sear the beef: Season the beef short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Push the caramelized onions to the side of the pot, then add the short ribs. Sear on all sides until nicely browned.
  4. Deglaze the pot: Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any delicious browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add liquids and herbs: Pour in the beef broth, and add the fresh thyme and bay leaf. Stir gently and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours, allowing the beef to become incredibly tender.
  7. Shred the beef: Once the beef is tender, remove the short ribs from the pot, shred the meat, discard the bones, and return the beef to the soup.
  8. Prepare to serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of fresh baguette, and layer on a generous amount of shredded Gruyère cheese.
  9. Melt the cheese: Place the bowls under the broiler for a few minutes, just until the cheese becomes gooey and golden brown.

Notes

This soup can be made a day in advance for richer flavors. It also freezes well for up to three months.
