Perfect for cozy nights in or impressive dinner parties, this elevated soup recipe will have your taste buds dancing and your heart warmed!
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 6 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup Ritual Powders Mushroom Bomb Souper Mix
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced and toasted
- 1 1/2 cups grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese
Method:
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
If using, deglaze the pot with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the wine is mostly evaporated.
-
Stir in the beef or vegetable broth, Ritual Powders Mushroom Bomb Souper Mix, thyme leaves, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and remove the bay leaf.
-
Preheat your oven broiler.
-
Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, and place them on a baking sheet. Top each bowl with one or two toasted baguette slices, and generously sprinkle the grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese over the bread.
-
Place the bowls under the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Be sure to watch them closely to avoid burning.
-
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, and serve the Mushroom Bomb French Onion Soup hot, garnished with additional thyme leaves, if desired. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish!
