If you love french onion soup like I do, you have to try this recipe. It’s seriously the best french onion soup that I’ve ever eaten, hands down. And aside from some stirring that you have to do in the middle, this recipe is super easy. I’m actually going to list ingredients and step by step directions because I love it so much, and I want you guys to get it right as well. I learned it from watching an episode of “America’s Test Kitchen”, which is one of my favorite cooking shows on PBS. All it takes is a little time and a little love, and you’ll have a huge pot of amazingly delicious french onion soup.<\/p>\n
Best French Onion Soup Recipe Ingredients:<\/p>\n -4 lbs yellow onions Directions:<\/p>\n 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray the inside of a dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray, or pour some oil into the bottom and spread it all around with a paper towel. Cut the butter into smaller pieces and scatter it around the bottom of the dutch oven. Cut the onions in half through the root end, and slice into 1\/4 inch thick slices from pole to pole. Put the slices of onion into the dutch oven and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the top. Cover the dutch oven and place it into the oven for 1 hour.<\/p>\n
