French Onion Soup

Recipe #44192 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

Mother Martin's restaurant in Montreal, Canada makes the best onion soup ever - more savoury than sweet! This recipe is the closest to it that I've ever tasted & came from a French Canadian friend who lived in Quebec City. The number of servings will depend on the size of your bowls & the thickness of the French bread. Use Swiss or Gruyere if you prefer -its your choice ..... Bon Appetit!!!

I made a few times, once with Merlot and then with a sweeter white wine and liked it both ways, didn't add cognac, also used gruyre cheese once and swiss the next with parmesan. I'm making again in a few days. Thanks for sharing.

    This soup was wonderful. It tasted exactly like one of our local resturants version of French Onion Soup. I can't wait to make this for company!

    This was my first time straying away from my original recipe. I am glad I did! I served it to my wife for a special meal it was a hit. Our hats go off to you for the great recipe.

    This was very good. It cooked away and thickened, so it gave us 2 generous serves in deep bowls. I love French onion Soup, but often Russell complains it's too sweet-no complaints today. Loved the thyme in it too.
