Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Heat 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, stir in onions and saute until onions are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove onions with a slotted spoon, set aside.

  3. Pour water into the saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Stir remaining butter, beef bouillon cubes, and chicken bouillon cube into water until dissolved. Stir in beer, garlic, bay leaf, and sauteed onions, season with pepper. Reduce heat, simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. Fill oven-proof bowls 3/4 full with soup. Place bowls on a baking tray, top with croutons and shredded cheese.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove baking tray from oven.

  6. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  7. Return soup to the oven, broil until cheese is browned, about 3 minutes.

Recipe Note

I decided to make French onion soup one day but after I started, I realized I didn't have any wine on hand - but I did have beer! You get a hint of beer but still a rich onion flavor. Give it a try - you'll love it!
