French Onion Soup

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time45 mins
Total Time55 mins
Course: Main Courses, Stews & Soups
Cuisine: French
Keyword: french, French onion soup, onion, soup
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 brown onion - sliced into half moon slices
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3 teaspoons diamond kosher salt
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic - chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cognac
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 quart beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire
  • 1 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 1 baguette
  • 2 cups Comte cheese - grated

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven, sauté the butter with all the onions and season with 3 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Allow the onions to cook down on medium heat for 15 - 20 minutes stirring every few minutes. If you have more time - even better! More of the caramelized flavor will develop!
  • Next, add in the bay leaves, garlic and cognac. Allow onions to cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Then add in the flour and allow it to cook out stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the white wine and cook the wine out for 3 minutes before adding a quart of beef broth, sherry vinegar and Worcestershire.
  • Turn to simmer and cook for about 15 minutes on low.
  • Once soup has thickened and it tastes yummy, (taste it to see if it need a little more salt and pepper!), transfer into individual oven safe bowls or ramekins. Fill the ramekins almost to the top and then place a pice of sliced baguette in the middle and top in completely with Comte cheese.
  • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place them in the oven on broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and ~bubblin’~.

Notes

Serve immediately! Its so delicious! With love + salt

Instagram post 17972561185345573 ✨K I T C H E N: Garlicky Roasted Tomatoes 🍅 and White Beans 🤍.
•**SAVE THIS POST**!
Remember those moody aromatic beans I made last week? Well here’s a recipe using them! It’s a cold and rainy in LA so I figured it was the perfect time to share this cozy dish. You could enjoy it as a stew or as an appetizer!
•
✨Garlicky Roasted Tomato & White Beans✨:
6-8 cocktail tomatoes (cocktail tomatoes are larger than cherry tomatoes but smaller than normal tomatoes. You can find them at any grocery store!) 
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 cups cooked or drained canned white beans **(I used my brothy white beans so there was more liquid! If using canned, feel free to add 2-3 cups of water or chicken broth! If the beans are fresh use 1-2 cups of the broth!)
1 whole lemon peeled and cut into small pieces
Lemon zest ( zest the lemon before peeling)
½ cup parmesan cheese
4-6 anchovies
1 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Toast for dipping
•
Heat oven to 400º. In a baking dish, add the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves and salt.
•
Roast the tomatoes for 35-40 minutes then allow them to cool for 10 minutes. 
•
Place a large saucepan or a @lecreuset Dutch oven on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the tomatoes and the 4 cloves of garlic. Save the rest of the oil for another time or drizzling at the end!
•
Using a wooden spoon, smash the garlic into the pan. Then add in the anchovies and chili flakes  and crush them using the wooden spoon. They should gently melt into the olive oil.
•
Once anchovies have incorporated into the olive oil, add the roasted tomatoes. Crush the tomatoes.
•
Next add in the white beans, broth, the whole lemon and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir together and then place back into the oven at 350º for 20 minutes. I actually poured my beans back into a baking dish to make it a fun snack for MJ and me! 
•
Pull the beans out of the oven and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Drizzle a little of the tomato garlic olive oil on top to be EXTRA ~~!
•
Serve with crispy bread for dipping!

It’s been awhile since I checked in so I just wanted to say hello! 2021 feels like it’s finally starting to get into the swing of things and I feel really good about this new year ✨.

If you’re new, I’m Emily! I love cooking and helping others in the kitchen. I created my own line of authentic spice blends to assist the everyday cook in their kitchen and bring some boldness to their food! I have a passion for home entertaining and just creating a really lovely space in the place you spend the most time. I feel like food and cooking is so connected to your love for others, treating your home as a little sanctuary and making a wonderful life for yourself and the people around you. I have to admit... I REALLY miss throwing parties, hosting and making lots of food for lots of people! 🤞🏼 we can get back to that in 2021! Until then, I’m really enjoying my current company: 🧔🏽MJ, 🐶 Nala and Lucy 🐾 .

🦋In the next few weeks I’ll be rolling out some more fun additions to help make our homes feel even 🥧cozier, spicier✨ and more 💐beautiful!

How it’s started👉🏼How it’s going! Things are moving along nicely! So far we’ve: removed the countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, microwave and cabinets! The new farmhouse sink is going in today and then hopefully backsplash will start moving in... but surprise! We’re picking ANOTHER backsplash (hopefully today). The goal is to have the kitchen done in 2ish weeks. Ambitious... but I think we could still do it!
•
More today on backsplash tile!

That even as we tired, we tried that will forever be tied together victorious. Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division.”💛

Today I feel as if we have turned a new leaf. One of hope, aspiration, compassion and unity. We watched Madame Vice President, Kamala Harris being sworn in as our first female, black and south Asian VP. We watched previous presidents and former VP Mike Pence usher a peaceful transition of power. We watched @amandascgorman speak wisely and empathetically beyond her years. And finally we watched the clouds part and and the sun shine on President Joe Biden as he became our new leader and commander in chief. He spoke about being a president to all- and sharing that his entire ♥️ heart is in this for us.
•
I feel happiness. Love! Patriotism and HOPE! That even as we grieved, hurt and tired... we grew, we hoped and we tried. I am proud to be an American 🇺🇸 today!
