French Onion Soup is the Grandfather of all soups – an inimitable classic, treasured across the world by fine diners and home cooks alike. One of the greatest barriers to creating a traditional French Onion Soup is the preparation time needed to achieve true caramelisation, and to draw out the depth of the savory flavors that usually need hours to come forth. This Thermomix recipe takes less than an hour and produces the same, salty and umami broth that is adored across the globe. Serve with toasted, cheesy bread and never think twice about making it again!
