Miso French Onion Soup
An unexpected twist on a comfort food classic.
Servings 3 servings
Ingredients
- 3-4 yellow onions thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt
- 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
- ½ cup white wine
- 3 cups bone broth
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- Few sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Sourdough bread roughly cut to fit in your bowl + toasted
- Grated cheese for topping: gruyère, comté, or a similar melty cheese
- Garnish: extra fresh thyme
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt down the butter with the olive oil. Add the sliced onions, along with some salt, and sauté on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Optional: add in some minced garlic when the onions are almost done caramelizing.
- Deglaze with the white wine, stirring to scrape up all the browned bits.
- Add the bone broth, miso paste, a few sprigs of fresh thyme, and a bay leaf. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the herbs and then ladle the soup into oven safe bowls or crocks.
- Toast up some sourdough, then brush lightly with olive oil. Top each bowl with a piece of the toasted bread and plenty of grated cheese.
- Place the soups under the broiler until golden and bubbly. Garnish with some extra fresh thyme!
