The reason your onions fell apart is because you cut them cross grain rather than with the grain. Which is known as frenching an onion. You cut it for onion rings not onion soup. Still tastes delicious, different texture.
french chef here, you forgot to add french peoples souls. They are very expensive because most french people dont have them but it just makes the soup taste better
As a French descendant living in Québec, you should have switched the onion soup for gravy, the bread croutons for french fries and the gruyère for cheese curds, making it a poutine instead.
As someone who is not French at all but does like croissant, I think he should have substituted the onions for lamb, the croutons for any kind of not stale bread and the cheese for salad and chili sauce boss, making it a kebab.

The problem is he used white onions instead of French onions. French onions come pre-caramelized. They’re only available in France and are too delicate to survive the trip over the Atlantic.
French chef pro tip: since you won't use the bowl anymore, no need to wash it. This way, the next time you use it, you'll have that delicious crusty taste at the bottom that everyone loves.
As a non-Filipino non-French New Zealander living in New Zealand, a country which also has Onion Deficit Disorder, I concur that this is a most expensive dish. Still gonna make it tho.

You need to try french onion soup. It's truly yummy. Cleanup afterwards, scraping that cheese off the bowl, is a huge pain in the wrist. So be neater with the cheese when you make it at home. Oh, and don't leave the lid on the pot. That's his only real mistake.

You can also add some hot water to the onions, which break it down faster. Then theres more surface area to brown easier, and it gives a softness headstart.
You want to make sure the onions are Throngled before you cut them, otherwise they fall apart. Make sure you get a Throngler from France otherwise it’s not real French onion soup, it’s just 5 onions cut to .25 inch strips, softened in 2 tbsp butter until soft and caramelized, add in chicken or beef stock once simmering and cook for 30 minutes, near the end of cooking add a splash of balsamic vinegar to taste. Add bread and cheese and serve hot.
As someone who either is or isn't a french chef I can confidently say that the onion soup may or may not look perfectly fine and that there is a possibility that there's room for improvement, but maybe also not.
After 10 min of sautéing onion, add teaspoon salt and teaspoon honey. After 20 min, add some minced garlic, continue stir until caramelized. Deglaze with red wine For bread; make garlic bread by rubbing garlic on stale baguette or sprinkling garlic powder on the baguette and bake till crisp
Cut the onions with the grain and cook without the lid on. Cutting with a grain, from top to bottom keeps the slices of onion whole. Taking the lid off keeps steam from developing helps develop fondé -- which is like fondue but not really.
As someone who isn't french but lives in a country that is closer to france than canada is, I'm officially declaring you to be a heretic in the name of the french people (who I didn't ask beforehand).

@@magenstaffarts Didn't did mimes moves and didn't shooted Vive La FRANCE or Vive L'EMPEREUR trully not Français enough especially while cooking onions

@@NWolfsson so fun story time. During one of our classes/service. Someone on the onions did actually manage to have it catch fire. Now I was in the back area cutting up veg for one of my dishes. But suddenly this massive plum of flames goes up. I was actually surprised the sprinklers didn't go on (and super relieved). I'm not sure how they managed to catch it on fire. Maybe some had split something on the stove. But it definitely caught fire. Had to throw the batch out. It was for a sandwich so no onions for that sandwich.
You just won the award! Not sure which award though… However, you are now my favorite RUclipsr. The only thing I would’ve done differently is fortify the beef stock that you used with extra veggies and maybe beef bouillon paste, and then strain that and use that as my stock. The other thing you forgot to do is to rub the bread down with garlic after baking it. But honestly, this looks amazing. Oh yeah, I’m not sure why you had the onions so thick… I use a mandolin for mine and get them extra thin, this also cuts down on the time they take the caramelize. I’ve always seen people using mandolin.
the only issue i saw with this is you need to always spank the onions a few times to heighten the flavours and also make them want to caramelized like the good little onions they are.
hey master chef here with 120+ years of expierence and I just wanted to let you know that actually the onions come last after it comes out of the over, just put them on top raw.
Very witty, I loved it. I cut my onions so they are left round, I don't cut them smaller than that. Your 1/4 is fine. You should always add a dry white wine to french onion soup. It's a richer taste, and then you already have a bottle open when you go to eat. Bon appetite.
So, for people who are trying to caramalize onions on their own, I believe America's test kitchen did an experiment and found that using a little bit of water to boil the onions initially and letting the water evaporate will allow the onions to start caramelizing faster.
This channel is nothing more than creating food porn while also disparsging the viewers into never trying cooking for themselves, creating a generation of people dependent on pre-made foods.
Hello, authentic french professional chef here with 10 years experience in a Michelin Star restaurant: You forgot to add garlic and a few snails to the onions (Like 1 snail per onion are more than enough), to realy improve the flavor and concistrency of the onions. Oh, and while Beefbroth works, a broth of Sheep and Game realy brings out the propper flavor of this dish. Best served cold. From Sweden with Love - Kami (P.S, no im not. But i would like to think i added something here. Something useless, just like me.)
I could have used this recipe last week when I made French onion soup for the first time by essentially the same exact method. I guess it's time to fire up the time machine... er, thyme machine?
Home non-pro chef here: I brown my onions in a wide and shallow skillet and not in the soup pot. That'll let them breathe more. Also, a pinch of salt in the beginning instead of sugar is what you want. It draws moisture out and preseasons the onion mass.
For the onions you shouldn't use a lid as long and also you can add a bit of water on the beginning and let them steam for a bit the just let the water cook off by removing the lid. This accelerates the caramelization process of the onions
As a Non French Amateur Chef this could've been improved by sacrificing a chicken to the king that crawls beneath. Also I put garlic in mine to stave off vampirism but that's a me thing
French chef here, it's actually only french onion soup if the onions have citizenship. Otherwise, it's just hot onion water.
Well shit

For quick caramelized onions, drizzle some caramel into the pot.
Veg.s have their own sugar. Browning them brings it out. No added sugar needed.

Now I really want to know if that guy's wife leaving him made him cry onto his soggy onion sandwich, transforming it into a bowl of soup.
Checks out since the traditional broth is your onion-cutting tears
Mice would get in it .
Can we get a time travel episode to 2003 where you make Freedom Onion Soup?
The real star of the onion soup is actually the beef stock
And a good cheese
good
@@cookingwithashfaqahmad A gouda cheese?
@@santajimi funny thing is it's actually pronounced "how-da"
@@dankava13 Funny thing it's actually not pronounced that way.
I was expecting french fries to show up with all the iconic French food, only to be told “Shut up, you’re Belgian.”
You can also use a large frying pan or grill to caramelize the onions
Michaelin Star chef here, should've used more spaghetti sauce
I was hoping for a French song at the end there, oh well another reason to cry I guess
Just keep your phone nearby to beg an imaginary partner to take you back so you don't look like a weakling when you cry over the lack of French song.
Coming from a French-American adult from Italy, i gotta say, im a fan of the cheese part.
hey master chef here with 120+ years of expierence and I just wanted to let you know that actually the onions come last after it comes out of the over, just put them on top raw.
Very witty, I loved it. I cut my onions so they are left round, I don't cut them smaller than that. Your 1/4 is fine. You should always add a dry white wine to french onion soup. It's a richer taste, and then you already have a bottle open when you go to eat. Bon appetite.
Those onions didn't look French to me... They weren't holding little baguettes or wearing little berets
They weren't even smoking cigarettes!!
They did have little frowns. That did it for me.
...or smoking.
Or taking a nap before FIRING ZE MEESILES!
they wear little baguettes as hats, check and mate
Or dangling on a string round a guy in a stripy shirt riding a bicycle. I mean, come on, there are standards to be preserved.
You've put there so many onions I thought you were making a cheese soup.
I'm french, if it tasted good, then you did it right
I don't know why I watch so many cooking videos when the best culinary accomplishment I have is making a bowl of cereal.
The origin of the French onion soup story had me rolling, lmao
Instructions unclear: Accidentally invaded France
Edit: Guys! Don't worry they surrendered. I am declaring Danny Devito as the new ruler of France
The gaul!
Roman around in France is very un-chef-like
Don't worry, few of us can say they haven't made that mistake
Always so embarassing when that happens.
Did they surrender? They usually do..
Living together in ignorance might be the only way to live in harmony
Best way to is learning to cook well and doing it.
If I were Garth Brooks I would be so frkn fat. Man can Yearwood cook!!!!!
The true masters arrange their caramalized onions to spell "Hon hon" before pouring in the broth to really French the soup up.
as a french chef how am I supposed to be as funny as you in the kitchen? all I do is cry from onions.
imagine if someone followed this step by step without seeing the next second
of the video
As a non-chef who is also an onion, HOW DARE YOU! No wait, those onions were jerks, you did the world a service.
wrong color of onions? i prefer the red onions, myself
So, for people who are trying to caramalize onions on their own, I believe America's test kitchen did an experiment and found that using a little bit of water to boil the onions initially and letting the water evaporate will allow the onions to start caramelizing faster.
How dare you give serious advice??!
@@rebeccafoster-faith6647 a non-french non-chef here seriously surprised of the non-seriousity
This channel is nothing more than creating food porn while also disparsging the viewers into never trying cooking for themselves, creating a generation of people dependent on pre-made foods.
That is so counterintuitive! Interesting!
Works really good for bacon too! Especially thick cut! Just make sure to pay attention once the water boils off!!
You cannot have harmony without ignorance is some dystopian saying
Hello, authentic french professional chef here with 10 years experience in a Michelin Star restaurant:
You forgot to add garlic and a few snails to the onions (Like 1 snail per onion are more than enough), to realy improve the flavor and concistrency of the onions.
Oh, and while Beefbroth works, a broth of Sheep and Game realy brings out the propper flavor of this dish.
Best served cold.

(P.S, no im not. But i would like to think i added something here.
Something useless, just like me.)
this channel is a giant middle finger at tall the times your parents told you not to play with your food
I could have used this recipe last week when I made French onion soup for the first time by essentially the same exact method. I guess it's time to fire up the time machine... er, thyme machine?
No lid.
This and creme brulee look hard until you make it, screw it up, and then realize it tastes amazing anyway.
Anything browned on top is good but that stuff really needs berries. And dry coconut.
@@MeTreesndirt I should tattoo malliard on my tongue
To make the soup even better: Add cheese at EVERY step!
Instructions unclear, added cheese to mouth at every step.
@@shelbyrobert3804 still a win!
Home non-pro chef here: I brown my onions in a wide and shallow skillet and not in the soup pot. That'll let them breathe more. Also, a pinch of salt in the beginning instead of sugar is what you want. It draws moisture out and preseasons the onion mass.

Take that metric system.
Nothing can beat 1 foot being 10 inches and one mile being a 1000 foot
For the onions you shouldn't use a lid as long and also you can add a bit of water on the beginning and let them steam for a bit the just let the water cook off by removing the lid. This accelerates the caramelization process of the onions
Real advice. So adorable. 💘
3:35 The Story Of French Onion Soup
The Ending Is Very Surprising 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Non French Amateur Chef this could've been improved by sacrificing a chicken to the king that crawls beneath. Also I put garlic in mine to stave off vampirism but that's a me thing
This is not a guide for cooking, this is a guide for life.
Hi, French chef here everything is perfect keep it cool
