Description

This French Onion Short Rib Soup is the ultimate comfort food, combining rich flavors and tender short ribs in a savory broth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds short ribs
  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 loaf French bread
  • 2 cups Gruyère cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add short ribs and sear on all sides until browned. Remove from pot and set aside.
  2. Add onions to the pot and cook until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Return short ribs to the pot. Add wine, broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until ribs are tender.
  5. Remove short ribs, shred the meat, and return to the soup.
  6. Preheat the oven to broil. Toast slices of French bread.
  7. Serve the soup in bowls topped with toasted bread and shredded Gruyère cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use homemade beef broth.
  • Feel free to add more herbs like rosemary or bay leaves for additional depth.
