OW TO CARAMELIZE ONIONS?

One of the most important steps in making French onion soup is caramelizing the onions. This process takes time and patience, but it’s worth it for the delicious flavor that it adds to the soup. Here are a few tips to help you caramelize onions correctly:

  1. Start with a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give you enough room to stir the onions without them sticking to the pot.
  2. Add enough olive oil or butter to coat the bottom of the pot.
  3. Add the onions and let them cook over medium heat until they start to brown.
  4. Stir frequently and be patient – it may take up to 30 minutes for the onions to caramelize properly.

Some of our favorites include adding croutons or cheese toast to the soup, or using different types of onions like Vidalia or yellow onions. You can also add in other vegetables like carrots or celery to make the soup more hearty. And don’t forget the herbs – fresh thyme or rosemary are delicious additions to French onion soup. So get creative and have fun with this recipe!
