Zoe’s 24 Hour French Onion Soup

To tell you the whole truth, I don’t normally choose to eat soup. I like to chew my calories thank you very much. This soup however, is a very big exception to this rule.

First off, I only make it in the winter. Warm and comforting, it’s something to look forward to on these cold winter nights. Second, making it is a HUGE tease. Since the onions are caramelizing over low heat overnight, the whole house smells amazing. I can smell it while I sleep and I just dream of French Onion Soup.

My version of this soup is not classic, but I think that’s what makes it so good. The balsamic vinegar adds a lovely tanginess that contrasts the richness of the beef stock and the sweetness of the caramelized onions.

If you’re really into cheese, like I am, I add the pieces I can’t shred on my grater right into the soup while it’s cooking. I can’t even begin to explain how amazing it is to come across of piece of mostly melted cheese swimming in onion while eating this soup.

A final tip for you is that if you have the optionto, use a ciabatta bread with roasted garlic in it for your toasts, it willbring the soup to a whole other level.
