If you can make this one day ahead the flavor will be much improved. Also, it's very easy to warm up, top with cheese, and broil the next day for a fast meal. As always, the ingredients and print recipe are linked in the description. Thanks for watching and sharing our videos.

This is why I love this channel: "If its burning, just lift up the pot!" - That's REAL LIFE home cooking!!! No shame in the lifting up the pot game! Everybody does it!

Jim, been watching you for a long time. I used to be a Chef/Sous Chef for almost 20 years. You have a fantastic way of teaching and man you know what you are doing. Thanks for showing everyone how to cook and have fun at the same time. You are the man!

My favorite winter comfort food! I like to use 3 kinds of onions and 3 kinds of cheese. Sweet, red and yellow onions. Gruyere, swiss and mozzarella cheese. I sometimes add some worcestershire sauce and I have done red wine as well.

Ah yes. It’s that time of the year again 🍂🍁🍃…almost 🥵

You read my mind with this video. 2 days ago my daughter asked me to make her French Onion soup, which I have never made. Guess what, now I know how to make it. Thank you for the perfect timing with this video. I am going to make it Sunday morning and we'll eat it while watching the game.

Long time ago I worked at a pizza place on South Street in Philly. Yet, they had two other products. Italian Roast beef and French Onion soup. We'd make 10 gallons every morning. Basically your recipe but just white wine and a dash of Balsamic vinegar. The ramekins were heated in the pizza oven for less than a minute.

Most of the chains have a central kitchen where they cook and then ship to the locations to ensure consistency.

Love these videos. Too many food videos on youtube are quick cuts and people shouting into camera. These are always just nice and relaxed with no pretentiousness; just wholesome good food.

I've only made French Onion soup once by starting with beef bones to make a rich broth. Every restaurant soup can never come close to the flavor of that homemade soup. Mine did not have tomato poste but had a deep brown color. Yum.

A shout out to Farmingdale! My grandparents raised the family in Massapequa and later in life they ran the Farmingdale Motor Lodge on Broadhollow, they lived upstairs over the office. I was born in the Midwest, and grew up in a small town, but we vacationed on Long Island and we went to a real Italian restaurant, red white and green neon, lots of photos on the wall, I will never forget it. This was the early 60s. I wonder if anything like that still exists. Not here in Boise, I'll tell you that. We do have some good pizza though. My mom made some good French onion soup, probably ala Julia Child. Mouth watering.

I recently had the French onion soup at Le Precope in Paris (they claim to be the oldest restaurant in the city - est 1686). I surprised to find that they do not serve it with bread, only about half a pound of melted Gruyère on top. It was pretty tasty!

@Fearluzz

What a coincidence, I literally just made onion soup, kind of sad I couldn't follow your recipe but I will next time for sure! Keep up the great work.

@jeanniebrooks

I’m so happy you finally came up with a reason to buy some tomato paste in a tube! You gotta have it for times like this when you only want a couple teaspoons. It’s a great pantry item.

@j.thedemonkat6572

Agree about using the most flavorful stock available if you're trying to do this as a vegetarian. I use Better Than Boullion's vegetable base (I also add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce) and my Fred Flintstone carnivorous bf is perfectly happy with it. So glad I found your channel - shoutout to my south shore peeps!

There was this little place near Neureut Kaserne in Karlsruhe, Germany (1983-4), that made the best french onion soup! I got sick and I rode my Peugot bicycle over there for the soup, to feel better. Karlsruhe wasn't that far from the French border so it makes sense that they would cook the soup just like in France. This is the perfect fall soup! Hey do butternut squash soup or butternut squash lasagna next! Thanks!

@robertlongfield5725

My wife loves French onion soup. I made this for her and she said it was the best she has ever had! Thank you the recipe

@krisluvskev

I made this Friday and served it last night a a first course and OMG it was so, so, so good, my husband really liked it, i personally would have it as a meal on its on but i knew it wouldn't be enough for my husband so i served roast beef dinner as the main course, but definitely taking this for lunch tomorrow with a thick slice of sour dough bread

@fuegodelsol7740

The bit about wanting chicken with the soup gave me an idea. Why not make videos where you make food that go well with your most popular dishes/videos from the past? Or meal plans? And the taste tester/s rate the combination or meal as a whole. I think it’d be a fun addition to the channel.
