Ultimate French Onion Soup with Tender Short Ribs

 

French Onion Beef Short Rib Soup

👉Ingredients:

↪️2 pounds beef short ribs

↪️2 large onions, thinly sliced

↪️4 cups beef broth

↪️1 cup red wine

↪️2 tablespoons olive oil

↪️2 cloves garlic, minced

↪️1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

↪️1 bay leaf

↪️Salt and pepper, to taste

↪️4 slices baguette

↪️1 cup grated Gruyère cheese

👉Instructions:

✅️1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them in a hot pot with olive oil until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

✅️2. In the same pot, sauté the onions and garlic over medium heat until soft and deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes.

✅️3. Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, and the seared short ribs. Bring everything to a simmer.

✅️4. Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 2 to 2½ hours, or until the short ribs are tender and the flavors have blended.

✅️5. Remove the short ribs, shred the meat, and return it to the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

✅️6. Toast the baguette slices, sprinkle them with the Gruyère cheese, and place them on top of the soup. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

✅️7. Serve hot and enjoy!
