Snow Day Recipe: Baked French Onion Soup with a Cheesy Twist

Our first snowfall has transformed the grey winter into a cold and blustery day, calling for a warm and comforting meal. This recipe is a unique adaptation of Dorie Greenspan's famous Cheese Topped Onion Soup.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium sweet onions
• 2 med purple onions
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp Arrowroot Flour (or corn starch)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups of whey or more chicken stock
• A pinch of  Butcher's black pepper
• 4 large slices of simple bread
• 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
• 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
• 1 cup grated manchego (feel free to substitute)
• 1/2 cup grated buffalo mozzarella
  

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the onions into long, thin strips.
Heat the olive oil and 1/2 tbsp butter in a dutch oven or crock. Add the onions and garlic and bake for about 75 minutes until the onions are translucent and beginning to brown.
Sprinkle the arrowroot flour over the onions, pour in the wine and chicken broth. Cook until the liquid is simmering, about 60 minutes. Season with Herbs de Provence and a pinch of Butcher's black pepper.

Cut bread into crouton-sized pieces and toast until golden brown, about 17 minutes at 400°F.

Fill bakeable bowls with soup or use the crock for the final step. Top with a generous portion of croutons and the grated cheese. Broil until the cheese melts and lightly browns, about 10 minutes.

Enjoy this delicious Baked French Onion Soup on this snowy day, a perfect winter comfort food to warm you up from the inside out! 🍲❄️
