It must be pretty obvious...fall is my favorite cooking season! There are so many delicious fall flavors: pumpkin, squash and apples. Sure we have all the sweet apple recipes but what about a savory one? Today I'd like to introduce your taste buds to a french onion and apple soup. Let the mouth watering begin!
1.5 Tbsp butter
5 medium onions, sliced
3/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 apple, peeled and julienned
A few sprigs thyme
Bay leaf
1/4 cup Marsala wine
3 cups beef broth
1/4 cup apple cider follow directions for 8oz and use 1/4 of recipe)
1/2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Crusty bread
Grated smoked Gruyere cheese
1. Melt butter in large pot. Add onions. Cook on medium heat until golden brown (took me 50 minutes) stirring occasionally. Add pepper, apple, thyme and bay leaf. Cook until apple is tender (about 5 minutes.)
2. Add wine, scrape pot to loosen the yummy bits. Add broth and cider and bring to a boil. Simmer for 45 minutes. Take out bay leaf and stir in vinegar.
3. Preheat broiler to toast bread. But do not burn it!
4. Ladle soup into oven proof bowl, put toasty bread on top, and top with cheese. Bake on 500 until cheese melts.
