One of St. Louis's favorite soup recipes was recently printed in the Post-Dispatch. I remember going to St. Louis when I was young and my family going into the department store's restaurant for this famous soup. Enjoy! Famous-Barr's French Onion Soup -- posted by Bill Hilbrich

French Onion Soup

Fri, 28 Feb 2003 20:02:28 -0500

Better than restaurant onion soup. Make the entire quantity and place in freezer in heavy duty freezer bags. When vidalias are in season, I double and triple the recipe to have the soup on hand. -- posted by BoxO'Wine

Soupe a L'oignon Gratinee (French Onion Soup)

Thu, 20 Mar 2003 20:04:00 -0500

Years ago I fell in love with the French onion soup at a Marriott Hotel in Santa Clara, CA. This is the first time, in over 15 years, that I've tasted a truly reasonable facsimile of it with a little tweaking. No surprise that it comes from a French cookbook. It has the nicest, most savory flavor. (NOTE: Prep and cook times are rough guesses.) -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Maura's French Onion Soup

Mon, 28 Jul 2003 20:02:34 -0400

This crockpot version is elegant, but inexpensive and very easy to put together -- my husband loves it! I usually serve mine with a salad & freshly-baked loaf of bread. Lots of other French onion soup recipes seem to call for an extreme amount of butter, but I've found that 1 or 2 tablespoons, along with some well-browned onions, will yield a lovely rich flavor. -- posted by Maura666

Onion Soup

Tue, 06 Jan 2004 20:00:35 -0500

This is a fantastic soup especially on cold days. You can also put soup in individual onion soup bowls, add a few croutons and top with a handful of cheese; Mozzerella, Swiss, or whatever white cheese you like. Pop into oven on 350* and bake until cheese is melted and slightly golden. -- posted by Carmen B.

Posted in response to a technique request. This creates a crystal clear broth. You can also substitute ground chicken and chicken broth to make a chicken consomme. This recipe is from "On Cooking" by Labensky and Hause. You can add anything you like to it: cooked beef, cooked vegetables, croutons, or use it as a base for soups. -- posted by "Pink Eyed" Jim Cortina

Wed, 30 Mar 2005 15:21:24 -0500

Mr. Price's "Treasury of Great Recipes" is a wonderful cookbook that I'm privileged to have on my shelf! The style of recipe format is rather different from what we're used to these days, so I'm translating for a more modern audience. Here you have a recipe adapted from one the collection, a delicious onion soup! From the market in Les Halles in Paris, circa 1965. -- posted by Julesong

Mirepoix

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 17:22:22 -0400

This is Chef Gabriel Claycamp's (of Culinary Communion) recipe for basic mirepoix. Classically, mixepoix is used in stocks to enhance flavor, aroma, and balance, and is a mixture of 50% onion, 25% carrot, and 25% celery. Stock is a flavored liquid made by simmering roasted bones and aromatics in water. Please note that this is not a recipe designed to make stock, itself, but rather just introduces mirepoix basics.

Chef Gabriel Claycamp's recipe for white mirepoix. Classically, mixepoix is used in stocks to enhance flavor, aroma, and balance. A white stock is made by simmering chicken or beef bones, vegetables, and aromatics in water. The stock remains relatively colorless during the cooking process. Please note that this is not a recipe designed to make stock, itself, but rather just introduces white mirepoix basics. Recipe posted with permission. -- posted by Julesong

"country Style" Onion Soup

Wed, 21 Sep 2005 12:19:37 -0400

A light but surprisingly rich onion soup. Suitable for a simple lunch or dinner if served with a hearty bread (sourdough is best) and a salad and some milk, or use it as the soup course for a big dinner and impress everyone. My dad calls it "country style" because he was served something very like it (although, he thinks, made with chicken or beef stock) while staying with friends in the French countryside. Try to find butter with the ingredients "sweet cream" or "cream, salt" (but unsalted is better); it will taste much better. Use home-made veggie stock if possible, or, if you must, canned, but taste carefully before salting in that case! Substitute chicken stock for more protein and a richer taste. -- posted by ketchupqueen

Jacques Pepin's Onion Soup Gratinee

Tue, 25 Oct 2005 13:14:17 -0400

Alton's French Onion Soup Attacked by Sandi

Wed, 07 Dec 2005 23:48:38 -0500

We just polished off a couple of bowls of this treasure inspired by the insane Alton Brown and are laying here all slothful and stuff. Ok, it wasnt exactly inspired by him...it's his recipe with a couple of molestations by me. I've omitted his inclusion of apple cider as I didn't like what it did to the flavor (way too sweet) and increased the broths. The combination of gruyere and Emmenthaler cheeses works far better, in my estimation, than the commonly seen solo gruyere. And no optional splash of cognac for us -- though if you were to add it, Im relatively sure youd be safe from my wrath. But I think the secret here lies in the way the onions are cooked...until they submit and obey. -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Five-Onion Soup With Scallion and Gruyere Croutons

Sun, 08 Jan 2006 19:13:25 -0500

This recipe is based on the one in the Panera Bread cookbook. I've modified it slightly, primarily to reduce quantity. The recipe calls for sliced onions, but my family prefers smaller pieces in the soup, and Panera serves it with chopped onions in our local store. This tastes a lot like the soup there. -- posted by PanNan

Tue, 27 Jun 2006 12:20:33 -0400

A wonderful soup for a hot day and not nearly as sweet as you might think. Think of it as a relatively blank canvas--a smooth cool potage which can be garnished with hot and spicy condiments, accompanied by crunchy, savory crostini, or heated up with curry or other spices. A Norman classic. -- posted by Chef Kate

Unbelievable Onion Garlic Soup With Cheese Crisps

Fri, 05 Jan 2007 22:07:31 -0500

Louis XIV more over or join me in enjoying my soup. I tried to get ever type onion I could find in my grocery store into this soup. Nine of the ingredients are in the genus Allium family. If you want to stick to one, two or 9 kinds of onion thats fine. But do give it a try! The rich flavor of the base is from the caramelized onions so be sure to have time for them. Sherry is used to enhance the caramelized onion flavor and to deglaze the pan. Bread slices need to be completely dry and toasted to hold the yummy cheese and stay afloat. -- posted by ~Rita~

Chestnut Soup With Bacon - Velouté De Chataignes Et Bacon

Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:49:01 -0500

A delicious Velouté French soup, the literal translation being to "be made like velvet", in other words, creamed and thick!! This is ALWAYS a hit with guests, friends and family, even those who profess not to like chestnuts, love this soup! Serve it with crispy bacon pieces/lardons and croutons for an elegant appetiser or as a light luncheon dish, with crusty bread & fresh butter. I have included the method for making your own croutons - they are far superior to shop bought ones if you have the time - also, try and use fresh herbs wherever possible. You can buy the chestnuts ready peeled and vacuum-packed OR in jars, in most supermarkets and specialist food shops; frozen chestnuts can also be used, as can fresh chestnuts of course! -- posted by French Tart

English Cream of Sorrel Herb Soup

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 22:55:20 -0400

Sorrel is a very old herb that has been used throughout the centuries in England, as well as the rest of Britain and Europe - especially France. I have called this an English soup, as it does not contain any egg yolks, as French Sorrel soup often does. It can be served chilled or hot, and is also delicious made with a combination of sorrel, watercress and other green herbs. You must try to use the small round tipped sorrel leaves, as the large pointed leaves are very bitter! Sorrel is a purgative and an excellent detoxification herb, so you can enjoy your soup as well as cleansing yourself!! Garnish with croutons and finely chopped sorrel leaves. -- posted by French Tart

Triple Onion Soup With Triple Cheese Toast

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 22:08:42 -0400

This is from Rachael Ray's 365: No Repeats. I didn't used the butter and I only used one onion b/c the leeks and shallots that I had were huge. I also used dried thyme instead of the fresh and added about 1/3 cup of dry sherry when I added the broth. I used Parmesan in place of the Gouda, but use what you'd like. I served this with a green salad. I froze the leftover soup. -- posted by dicentra

Good served either hot or chilled. A flavorful French classic (known to the Julia Child's fans as Potage Parmentier), commonly seen on the French dinner table between October and March. Look for leek that are slim and long (the fatter they are, the stronger and more bitter they taste). -- posted by littleturtle

French Onion Soup (Traditional)

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 23:53:18 -0400

This is an original recipe by Thomas Keller posted on GastroChick.com. This soup is so amazing I could never take credit for it. So many recipes for French Onion soup skimp on the time to caramelize the onions, but the lengthy caramelization is what provides that amazing depth in a loving, patiently prepared, French Onion Soup. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have. Note from GastroChick: Keep an eye on your onions when cooking, if you notice there is too much liquid in the pan turn up the heat and make sure you dry them out a little otherwise they will boil instead of caramelize. -- posted by Heirloom

Tomato soup is only as good as the tomatoes that are used to make it, so it is no wonder that this soup is synonymous with the summer months, when the reddest, juiciest, most flavorful specimens are in the market. Also best in this season are the pungent, leafy green herbs that the French call 'fines herbes': parsley, chervil, chives, basil, and tarragon. From the cookbook "Savoring Provence" and posted for ZWT5. -- posted by FloridaNative

Chilled Summer Lettuce, Lovage and Garden Pea Soup

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:25:38 -0400

A delightful and refreshing chilled soup for summer - this savoury soup takes its flavour from freshly chopped lovage leaves, which impart a savoury, lemony and celery-like taste. I like to serve this pale green soup in clear glass bowls for maximum impact, with a few chopped leaves sprinkled on top and a swirl of cream. This soup makes an elegant starter for any summer event or a light luncheon dish. Do not be tempted to add more lovage then is suggested, it is a very strong flavoured herb and can be overpowering if used with a heavy hand! -- posted by French Tart
