Suggest a better descriptionIve recently been making French onion soup. The recipe Ive been using is from the Chez Francois cookbook (Chez Francois is a rather good French restaurant in the DC area). Im writing this from memory, but Im pretty certain its accurate. Place bones, carcasses, and water in a large stock pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, skim fat, and add vegetables and herbs. Allow to simmer for 4-5 hours partly covered, skimming fat as necessary. Strain well (or just ladle the soup out, leaving the bones, etc. behind). Melt the butter on low heat in a large saucepan. Add the onion, and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are soft and golden brown. Add the fonds blanc, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a 375 F oven place 16 1/2-inch slices of bread, cut into ~1-inch pieces. Bake until golden brown (5-8 mins). Put the soup into individual serving dishes, top with the croutons and 1 heaping tbsp. cheese each (I find I really need more like 2 tbsp each). Brown the cheese under a broiler and serve immediately. From the Internet Cookbook [Wow! That looks quite complicated.
