Here's what you'll need:
15-20 thin slices of baguette
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
2-3 medium onions, thinly sliced
6 cups of homemade chicken stock (or low-salt canned chicken broth)
1/2 teaspoon of salt (adjust to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
2 cups of grated cheese
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange the bread slices on a cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Leave the oven on.) Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onions and sauté for 15 minutes, or until dark brown.
Add the stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Push the soup through a food mill.
Arrange one third of the toasted bread in the bottom of an ovenproof soup tureen or large casserole. Sprinkle with some of the cheese, then add the remaining bread and more cheese, saving enough to sprinkle over the top of the soup. Fill the tureen with the hot soup, sprinkle the reserved cheese on top, and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a golden crust forms on top.
At serving time, bring the soup to the table. Combine the yolks with the port in a deep soup plate and whip with a fork. With a ladle, make a hole in the top of the gratinée, pour in the wine mixture, and fold into the soup with the ladle. Stir everything together and serve.

    I love this man. Mostly because he doesn't sell you on his line of cookware nor can you find silly shaped kitchen tools at Walmart with his name on it. Use a pan, clean it properly, sharpen your knives, and the rest is immaterial. He has always been about integrity and has never said 'cook with technique but only in my latest line of products'.

    years ago, he did put his name on Matfer Bourgeat copper cookware. it wasn't "his line" of cookware, tho. (my mom gave me two MB/JP pans - along with his La Technique - bc she knew I was a fan AND they share a birthday. the latter was a weird and wonderful reason that I didn't know before that.)

    One of my favorite French idioms I've learned is "s'occuper de tes oignons". It means, loosely, "mind your own business" but translates literally as "take care of your onions". I get the feeling that onions are important to French cuisine and culture. In any event, onion soup is a great delicious classic that's pretty easy to make.

I've gone from eating fried eggs several times per week to eating a French omelette several times per week (with rye toast).

    I've made this "Lyonnaise French Onion Soup" many times before after reading the recipe in one of Pépin's cookbook. Its very thick, but definitely one of my favourite soups and an absolute hit with guests. I've tried the Parisian style onion soup at restaurants and I'm always disappointed by when compared to this recipe. Pro tip: use toast from a few slices of french baguettes for a fantastic result!

    During my student days it was my cheap meal because other than the cheese (I prefer Comté), it uses up stale bread and onions/broth are pantry staples. If you've seen the movie Julie and Julia, onion soup is a great way to practise your knife skills. I use beef broth though or a mix of beef and chicken broth.
