AppleBee's® Baked French Onion Soup

"This is the most popular soup served each day at this huge restaurant chain. Gooey, melted provolone cheese covers a crispy, round crouton. This soup is so simple to make yourself."


3 tablespoons vegetable oil

6 medium white onions, sliced

8 cups Swanson brand beef broth

1 cup water

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

5 plain hamburger buns

10 slices provolone cheese

10 teaspoons shredded parmesan cheese

1. Add the oil and onion to a large saucepan and cook over medium or high heat. Sauté for 20 minutes until the onions begin to s often.Stirthem constantly so they won't become brown.

2. Add the beef broth, water, salt, garlic powder and black pepper to the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. When the soup begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. To make the croutons, cut off the rounded uppermost part of each top hamburger bun so that the bread looks flat like the bottom buns. Throw the top parts away. You should now have 10 round pieces of bread -- 5 bottom buns, and 5 top buns with the tops cut off.

4. Place the bread in the preheated oven directly on the rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until each piece is golden brown and crispy. Remove to cool and set aside. Set these croutons aside until you need them.

5. When the soup is done cooking, spoon about 1 cup into an oven-safe bowl. Float a crouton on top of the soup, and then place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the crouton. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of shredded Parmesan cheese over the provolone.

6. Set your oven to "high broil" and place the bowl into the oven. Broil the soup for 5 to 6 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. If you are cooking more than 1 cup at a time you will need to adjust this time. Remove the coup to cool and sprinkle an additional 1/2 teaspoon of shredded Parmesan cheese over the top of the soup. Serve immediately. Makes 10 bowls of soup.

Oh boy! That is wonderful. I have never even made it, but my husband might get lucky and I try this one. If Hanno wants to share his recipe, we would love that!

I'll try to remember to bring it to work tomorrow, then I'll post it for you. I do remember it was really easy and totally delicious - took some time because the onions must caramellise first if I remember correctly. Remind me about the recipe if I forget!

Oh boy! The thing I didn't like was the broiler in this recipe. I'll remind you.

What we did, as far as I remember, is to make the onion soup, and while it was being made, to make the "croutons" in the oven. We took a French Loaf, cut it in slices, rubbed with garlic, cheese on top and grilled in the oven. Then we just spooned soup into bowls and added the croutons.

I don't like the idea of putting my bowls into the oven!

That sounds more reasonable.
