Classic French Onion Soup
A classic restaurant dish that’s so easy to prepare at home. The secret is in caramelizing the onions to bring out their natural sweetness. Start out with Vidalia onions for the sweetest flavor and don’t rush the cooking process to be sure you get every bit of savory, sweet flavor. Beef broth adds an underlying richness while white wine brings a bright acidity to the soup. Serve in oven-safe crocks and pop under the broiler just until the cheese is perfectly melted. P
