1

Caramelizing the Onions

Thinly slice 4 large onions (preferably yellow or sweet onions). In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook them slowly for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on them as they turn golden brown and develop that sweet, caramelized flavor.

2

Adding the Twist

Once the onions are beautifully caramelized, it's time to add the twist! Stir in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and let it cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. This secret ingredient adds a tangy depth that will make your French Onion Soup stand out from the rest.

3

Simmering with Broth

Pour in 6 cups of beef broth and bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it gently bubble away for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to mingle and intensify. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to taste.

4

Toasty Cheese Topping

Preheat your broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of crusty bread and a generous amount of shredded Gruyère cheese. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent any burnt cheesy mishaps!

Time to Enjoy!

Carefully remove the bowls from the broiler (remember, they'll be hot!). Let them cool for a minute or two before diving into this warm and comforting delicacy. Grab a spoon, take a hearty sip, and let the layers of flavor take over your taste buds. Bon appétit!
