Caramelised-onion soup with beef stock, baguette and Gruyère.
About French Onion Soup
Anna Ugarte-Carral’s French onion soup is presented as a Lyon bistro classic. Caramelised onions and brown beef stock form the soup, with baguette and Gruyère over the top.
Slowly browned onions provide sweetness and savoury depth. Beef stock brings richness, while the cheese adds a salty dairy note; egg yolks and Port complete this version.
Soft onion strands fill the broth beneath toasted bread and golden, bubbling cheese. The soup is presented in individual heatproof bowls with the bread partly settled into the liquid.
