1 tbsp light brown sugar replace with 1/8 tsp baking SODA per pound of onion if on a keto diet
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup dry white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
6 cups vegetable broth or beef or chicken broth stock if you’re not on a vegetarian diet
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour must be dissolved in 5 tbsp of water (replace with 2 tbsp xanthan gum dissolved in 4 tbsp of water if on a keto diet or cornstarch if on a gluten-free diet)
6 slices French bread or baguette Slice bread 1-inch thick (one slice per bowl depending on the size of your bowl). Replace with keto bread or gluten-free bread
1 ½ cups Shredded cheese such as Gruyere, Asiago, Swiss, Gouda, White chedar, or Mozzarella, about ¼ cup per bowl
How to make French Onion Soup:
1. Caramelize the onions: Press the Sauté button of your Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Let it heat for 2-3 minutes and add olive oil. Add sliced onions and stir in brown sugar. Sauté for about 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then in order to not burn, or until onions are golden brown or caramelized.
2. NOTE: Because the pot is tall but not so wide, you may have to half the recipe, or cook half of the onions on the stovetop. If cooking the whole 4 pounds of sliced onions in the Instant Pot, it may take a few minutes more to caramelize. Make sure to stir them more often.
3. Add aromatics, seasonings, and liquids: Next, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then, combine Worcestershire sauce and wine. Let the wine evaporate a little and stir in salt, pepper, broth, thyme, and bay leaf.
4. Pressure Cook: Lock the lid, turn the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 15-20 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
5. Thicken the soup: Open the pot and stir in a mixture of flour dissolved in water. Press the sauté button and cook, stirring constantly, for about 8 minutes or until the soup thickens. Can you skip the thickening process? YES! Transfer the soup to bowls and top with toasted bread and cheese.
6. Broil: Place the bowl onto a baking sheet and transfer to the top oven rack (must be about 6 inches from the heat source) and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown, bubbly, and melted. Watch carefully in order for the cheese not to get burnt.
