This easy and delicious French Onion Soup is made entirely in your soup maker, with rich caramelized onions, savory broth, and cheesy toasted French bread. It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that’s ready in just 35 minutes.
Ingredients Needed:
- 3 large onions, peeled and sliced into strips
- 40g butter
- 960ml vegetable stock
- 1 tsp frozen garlic (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- 240ml white wine
- 2 tbsp thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 8 slices of French bread
- 28g Gruyère cheese, grated
How To Make French Onion Soup In A Soup Maker:
- Prepare the onions: Peel and slice the onions into strips. Season them with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Sauté the onions: Add the onions and butter to your soup maker. Set it to the sauté function and sauté for 5 minutes until the onions start to soften and caramelize slightly.
- Add the remaining ingredients: Cancel the sauté function and add the vegetable stock, garlic, and white wine. Make sure not to exceed the MAX line in your soup maker.
- Cook the soup: Select the ‘Chunky’ soup setting and cook for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the bread: Five minutes before the soup is done, slice the French bread and top with grated Gruyère cheese. Place the bread in an air fryer and cook at 180°C (360°F) for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can toast the bread in the oven or under the grill.
- Serve: Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and place the cheesy French bread on top. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Cheese swap: Feel free to use any grated cheese you prefer if Gruyère isn’t available.
- Wine-free option: You can omit the white wine and replace it with extra stock for a non-alcoholic version.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
Storing: Let the soup cool, then pop it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Freeze the soup for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheating: Warm it up on the stovetop or microwave, and top it with fresh bread and cheese for that perfect finishing touch!
