THE BEST FRENCH ONION SOUP
This bistro classic is deceptively easy to make. It just takes a little time and a few good ingredients. We found that yellow onions, also known as Spanish onions, work best for this recipe. They have a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness and caramelize perfectly. Just don't take them too dark -- a nice golden brown is perfect. Good beef broth also makes a big difference. If you can't make your own, look for a high-quality prepared variety.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a very large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onions, bay leaves, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and light golden-brown, about 1 hour. (The onions will begin to stick to the bottom of the pan and turn brown after about 30 minutes; just keep scraping them up and stirring them into the rest of the onions. If they are browning to quickly, lower the heat.)
- Add the wine to the pot, bring to a simmer and cook until it has almost completely evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add the beef broth and 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer and cook until the flavors come together and the soup is rich, about 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Keep the soup warm on a low burner or cool completely and refrigerate to reheat later. (The soup can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.)
- Preheat the broiler. Place four soup crocks on a rimmed baking sheet and fill them about 3/4 of the way with hot soup. Float a slice of baguette on top of each and cover with 1/2 cup Gruyere. Broil until the Gruyere is golden brown (don't be alarmed if some soup bubbles out), 2 to 3 minutes.
FRENCH ONION POTATO GRATIN
This gratin takes the best flavors of French onion soup-melty cheese and caramelized onions-and pairs them with potatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and thyme for one helluva great side dish that will have you licking the spoon--even when guests are looking. It's that good!

Steps:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and crank the heat to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter a 2-quart (1.9 L) casserole dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
- Scoop in the mushroom and onion slices and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and onions are softened and browned, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Toss in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, carefully cut the potatoes into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick slices.
- Line the bottom of the prepared casserole dish with a double layer of potato slices, overlapping slightly-kind of like playing cards. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Scoop about 1/3 of the mushroom-onion mixture into the dish and spread over the potatoes. It won't cover it fully, but that's okay.
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese over the top.
- Repeat layering the potatoes, salt and pepper, mushroom-onion mixture, and cheese, two more times.
- Slowly pour the cream into a crevice along the side, being mindful not to wash away the cheese on top.
- Slide the casserole into the oven and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover it with foil halfway through baking.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in salt, red onions and sweet onions. Cook 35 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized and almost syrupy.
- Mix chicken broth, beef broth, red wine and Worcestershire sauce into pot. Bundle the parsley, thyme, and bay leaf with twine and place in pot. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard the herbs. Reduce the heat to low, mix in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep over low heat to stay hot while you prepare the bread.
- Preheat oven broiler. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet and broil 3 minutes, turning once, until well toasted on both sides. Remove from heat; do not turn off broiler.
- Arrange 4 large oven safe bowls or crocks on a rimmed baking sheet. Fill each bowl 2/3 full with hot soup. Top each bowl with 1 slice toasted bread, 2 slice Gruyere cheese and 1/4 of the Asiago or mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle a little bit of paprika over the top of each one.
- Broil 5 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. As it softens, the cheese will cascade over the sides of the crock and form a beautifully melted crusty seal. Serve immediately!

FRENCH ONION GRATIN SOUP (KITCHEN PRINCESS)
Yes, I know. It's another Kitchen Princess recipe, I have not been able to get a hold of my family's stuff yet. But still, this is also a French dish, and it's not too bad. Tip: If you are interested, you can make this soup Japanese-style by using mochi instead of French bread!

Steps:
- Boil 1 ¾ cups water. Add 1 block consommé. Set the soup aside.
- Peel the onion and slice into thin strips.
- Heat the butter on medium in a frying pan. Don't let the butter burn! Put the onion in the butter and sauté until the onion turns dark yellow. Stir well with wooden spoon so it doesn't burn. Sautéing it well here makes the sweetness come out of the onion.
- Add the consommé soup to the frying pan and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the soup into a heat-resistant bowl or cup. Put the French bread and shredded cheese on top, and shake some grated cheese on top of that. Put it in an oven toaster and toast for about 4 to 5 minutes. When it turns golden brown, it's done.
