Onion and Bacon Soup PRINT
- YIELD: 6 servings
This reinterpretation of French onion soup adds bacon for deep satisfying flavor. For a classic touch, make sure to include the broiled cheesy bread top.
Ingredients
| 6 | slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces |
| 3 | large yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise |
| 4 | cups low-sodium chicken broth |
| 6 | baguette slices (1 inch thick) |
| 1½ | cups grated Gruyere cheese |
Directions
In a medium Dutch oven or heavy pot, cook bacon over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot (reserve for another use). Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up browned bits from pot with a wooden spoon, until onions are very soft and deep golden brown, about 1 hour (reduce heat if onions are overbrowning). Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat.
Heat broiler, with rack in top position. With a ladle, transfer soup into six 8-ounce broilerproof baking dishes set on a rimmed baking sheet. Top each with a baguette slice and 1/4 cup grated cheese. Transfer sheet to oven and broil until cheese is melted and browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
