Pot French Onion Soup Recipe

Author: Pauline

Ingredients

  • 4 Onions
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Bayleaf
  • ¾ cup Redwine
  • 4 cups Beef Stock
  • Baguette
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Gruyere cheese
  • Black Pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Brown sugar
  • 2 Sprigs thyme
  • ½ cup Brandy 

Instructions

  • Saute
    The first step is to saute the onions. But for this, you have to first add three tablespoons butter and one tablespoon oil to an instant pot and saute for a few seconds. The butter will melt after sauteing. Then add four sliced onions and two tablespoons of brown sugar to the pot. Next, you need to stir the onion slices until they turn brown. It requires a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes to turn onions into brown color.
    You should always caramelize the onions when you are preparing a French onion soup recipe. Caramelized is a process in which the onion slices will turn brown. This process increases the taste of your soup.
  • Add Garlic And Bayleaf
    Now add two cloves of garlic and one bay leaf in the instant pot and saute all together for two minutes.
  • Add RedWine, Beef Broth, And Brandy
    Now it’s time to add half a cup of brandy, three fourth cups of red wine, and four cups of warm beef broth to your instant pot. Stir them for one minute.
    The beef broth is the main ingredient in French soup. It would be best if you never compromised on the quality of the beef broth. If you are using packaged beef broth, please check its quality before adding it to your soup. It would be best if you remembered that the quality of soup depends on the stock you use in soup.
  • Time To PressureCook
    Add Worcestershire sauce, two sprigs of thyme, salt to taste, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Then close the lid and pressure cook for 15 minutes. Allow the instant pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, and then you can quickly release the pressure from the pot.
  • Open The Lid
    Now open the lid of your instant pot. Then pour the soup with the help of a spoon in a soup bowl. On top of the soup, you can add gruyere cheese and one slice of baguette. It will increase the taste of your soup. If you are serving kids, then try to grate more cheese and add to the soup. Kids love to eat cheese along with the soup.
  • Place Soup Bowl In Oven
    Now place the soup bowl in the oven for five minutes to broil. Once it broils, the cheese will melt and will turn golden brown.
  • Ready To Serve
    Your soup is now ready to serve. Enjoy the fabulous instant pot French onion soup.
