RECIPE
FOR THE STOCK (This stock recipe makes 2x what you'll need for this soup recipe. I use 1/2 for the soup and freeze the other half. Nice store bought stock also works)
•3lb beef shanks, bone in
•2lb beef femur/marrow bones
•1lb 80/20 ground beef
•5000g or 5 liters water or add to the fill line of your pressure cooker. my instant pot is 8qt for reference
Lay out all meat products on sheet trays and roast in a 450°F/232°C oven for 20 minutes. After bones are roasted in the oven, add them into a large pressure cooker (making sure to include all juice and fond from the sheet trays), add water to the fill line of your pressure cooker, and pressure cook on low for 2 hours. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can make this stock on the stovetop by simmering for 4-6 hours. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain stock into a large container and skim off some of the fat.
FOR THE SOUP
•5lbs or 2 1/4 kg yellow onions (not vidalia)
•15g or 2TBSP olive oil
•115g or 8 TBSP unsalted butter
•15g or 2.5tsp salt
•100g or 1 c water
•120g or 1/2 c dry sherry
•4-5 springs of time
•2 bay leaves
•25g or 1.5 TBSP Worcestershire
•5g or 2 tsp black pepper
•8g or 1.5 tsp salt
•2000g or 2 liters beef stock (recipe below)
Preheat oven to 400°F/204°C. Peel and chop onions, pole to pole. Into a large heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven, add in olive oil, chopped onions, butter, and salt. Load into a 400°F/204°C degree oven, covered, for 1 hour. After 1 hour, stir onions, making sure to scrape brown bits off bottom and sides. Cook for another 1hr 45min to 2 hours, with lid cracked, making sure to stir once half way through.
Remove pot from oven and deglaze with 50g or 1/2 cup of water, scraping up all the brown bits from the bottom and sides. Transfer pot to the stovetop to finish soup by caramelizing onions over high heat, stirring often. After 3-5 minutes or when the bottom of the pot begins to get brown and caramelize again, deglaze for a 2nd time with 50g or 1/2 cup of water, scraping the brown bits off the bottom and sides of the pot. When the onions begin to caramelize and brown on the bottom of the pot, this time deglaze for the 3rd and final time with Sherry. Scrape bottom and sides again to incorporate the brown caramelized onion and cook off alcohol then add in Worcestershire, followed by salt, pepper, bay, thyme, and 2000g/2L of beef stock. Stir and cover, turn heat to low and simmer for about 25-30 minutes.
Ladle finished soup into crock, top with croutons, a generous portion of shredded gruyere and a slice of provolone and broil on high for 20-40 seconds until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
GARNISH:
•French Gruyere, grated on largest holes box grater
•Thick sliced provolone
•1'x1' sourdough croutons
‣ to make your own croutons i cut half of a 1 kilo sourdough loaf into 1' cubes, toss with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder, and bake in a 350°F/175°C oven until golden and toasty

    Absolutely genius to do the onions in the oven first. It's very labor intensive doing them on top the stove the entire time.

    hmm the version i've made we did a small roux to thicken it a bit, and also added red wine for a deglaze. I think i really appreciated the wine flavor in the end.

    As a point on the onions taking time - with a heavy bottomed pan, if you put a lid on them, they can go on full flame for a good 5-10 minutes and really smush up and start browning nice and fast.. I usually reduce heat after 10 a bit, and take the lid off after 15-20 to get that caramelising going strong though. Saw it on a curry channel (they need a lot of onion!), and the blonde in me was impressed, as I had been methodically standing and stirring them for 20-30 minutes to do what a lid does in 10!

    This channel is excellent!👌 I get a lot out of your explanations and technique even though I'm vegan. I seriously never thought I would ever be giving a FOS soup like this a thumbs up but I appreciate the knowledge. Also, that apron is something I need. Also, also great editing on these videos, I've binged watched so many vids of yours and I have to say it's nice to watch a proper chef vs an amateur (no shade to the amateur cooks) or a celeb chef. Keep it up B this is going to lead somewhere awesome for you.

    @@BrianLagerstrom ok, I'm getting back to you on the veg options. You have a few taco videos on your channel so I thought you could try flautas aka tacos dorados aka taquitos. I would say depending where you are in Mexico flautas are longer than the taquitos you would normally get in the states. They can be filled with nearly anything, potatoes is standard issue BUT if you find them filled with flor de jamaica those are the best. It's hibiscus flower in the US and it is used in tacos and taco cousins here. It can be either sour/tangy or very meat like. They're super good and fun to work with. If you decide to take on this challenge try making your own tortillas, but please god use masa not corn flour! Nopales could be another dish to try, it's an art to cook them and not have them slimy. Best way is on a volcanic rock or clay comal...your pizza stone? Jajaja

    I eat meat, but I use thick sliced big portobello mushrooms with cracked pepper and coarse salt for a meat "substitute" sometimes. What can we make with that??!

    Just made this today and it was delightful 👌. I used a Dutch oven, but decided to make it on the stove top the whole way. I also had to sub cognac as I didn't have any dry sherry. Also didn't have the soup crock so I had to brulee the cheese with a torch. All turned out great!
