    We've had the same French Onion soup recipe for 50 years. My wife got it out of a free cookbook she got with a box of detergent. The book's Onion Soup and also it's omelet recepies were both outstanding and we've used them ever since. The onion soup is better than you get in most restaurants.

    French onion soup is, hands-down, my all-time favourite soup, but I rarely order/make it, mainly because you have to absolutely nail every step to make it as good as it can be, as with most dishes as simple as this. That "Dutch oven in the oven" trick for caramelizing the onions is gonna be a game-changer. Thank you for that.
    Also, I've tried the "baking soda shortcut" for caramelizing onions, and, I don't know if I added too much, but the onions actually broke down too fast, and just kinda turned to mush. They also had a weird taste to them.

    As a point on the onions taking time - with a heavy bottomed pan, if you put a lid on them, they can go on full flame for a good 5-10 minutes and really smush up and start browning nice and fast.. I usually reduce heat after 10 a bit, and take the lid off after 15-20 to get that caramelising going strong though. Saw it on a curry channel (they need a lot of onion!), and the blonde in me was impressed, as I had been methodically standing and stirring them for 20-30 minutes to do what a lid does in 10!

      @@BrianLagerstrom ok, I'm getting back to you on the veg options. You have a few taco videos on your channel so I thought you could try flautas aka tacos dorados aka taquitos. I would say depending where you are in Mexico flautas are longer than the taquitos you would normally get in the states. They can be filled with nearly anything, potatoes is standard issue BUT if you find them filled with flor de jamaica those are the best. It's hibiscus flower in the US and it is used in tacos and taco cousins here. It can be either sour/tangy or very meat like. They're super good and fun to work with. If you decide to take on this challenge try making your own tortillas, but please god use masa not corn flour! Nopales could be another dish to try, it's an art to cook them and not have them slimy. Best way is on a volcanic rock or clay comal...your pizza stone? Jajaja

  • @barbarakamiyama6643
    @barbarakamiyama6643 2 года назад +1

    Your version of FOS looks amazing but it’s still a lot of work. Using the oven for the onions is a great shortcut, but it’s still quite a journey to the end. My dad always saved the beef bones from rib roasts and grilled steaks so there was always a supply of bones in the freezer, but here in Japan where everything is boned out, getting beef bones is not only hard but also very expensive. I just don’t think it’s worth the trouble of making the soup if you have to use bouillon cubes. But just watching you enjoy the soup at the end of the video makes watching it all worthwhile. Great job tackling a French classic!

    It is funny that many people commented about the Swiss/Gruyere vs. French/Emmental "faux pas". While this recipe sounds absolutely delicious, my French heart screams at the idea of having Worcestershire sauce in such a French classic. How can we use a condiment in a French recipe that no French can pronounce.... ;-) For me, onion soup is a poor man's dish. In my family, at the end of the month, when the bank account is in overdraft mode, and you only have a few onions and stale bread in your cupboards, is when onion soup becomes the best dinner you can offer your family. Sauter the onion in butter until blond, deglaze with water, salt, pepper, simmer for 30 minutes. If you have alphabet letters pasta, or vermicelli, or orzo, any tiny pasta, add them for the last few minutes before serving hot, and you have a feast. If you don't have pasta, toasted stale bread at the bottom of a soup bowl sprinkled with swiss cheese and pour the hot soup on top. Beware, this very simple recipe will taste bland to an American palate used to the very rich French onion soups served in the US. In France, there are probably as many onion soup recipes as there are families. You can make it as simple or as elaborate as you feel like.

    Oh man this recipe is quadruple the size. Tomorrow I am using the leftovers for Bangers and Mash:-)

    I noticed that you did a Stouffers pot pie makeover recently. I grew up with Stouffers pot pies and love them the best. I’ve been able to duplicate many of their dishes, but one has always eluded me in its simplicity maybe?? There are so many versions of it, but I’ve always preferred the Stouffers version of “Chicken a la King.” I would love to see you tackle that comfort dish with your take on it and maybe shed some light on what I might be doing wrong at home. Thanks for your consideration.
