French Onion Soup

Steps

1. 1

   Peel and finely slice the onions. Brown them with the butter over medium heat, then sprinkle with flour and cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the onions and flour start to stick to the bottom of the pan.

2. 2

   Gradually pour in the stock, still stirring. Salt, pepper, then simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.

3. 4

   Preheat the oven to 100°C. Cut the bread into large chunks, place on a baking sheet, and dry them in the oven for 15 minutes.

4. 5

   Take the bread out and raise the oven temperature to 240°C.

5. 6

   Stir the cream into the soup, then pour everything into a deep oven-safe dish.

6. 7

   Place the bread on top of the soup, sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake until golden and bubbly.
