French Onion Gnocchi Soup
French Onion Gnocchi Soup takes two of our favorite dishes and merges them into one. It's the perfect warm, cozy, comfort food for a chilly day. The key to the success of this recipe is slow cooking the onions, gently coaxing the flavor out of them and taking your soup to the next level. Use homemade gnocchi or pick up some at your local grocery store.
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- 10 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 bay leaves
- 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 10 cups boiling water
- 4 cups fresh or packaged gnocchi
- 3 cups shredded Italian style cheese or Gruyère
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Add the butter, oil and sugar to a medium sized pot on medium to low heat. Once melted add the sliced onions, salt and pepper and stir.
- Cook with the lid off, and stir every 5-8 minutes until golden brown and caramelized, which will take around 40-50 minutes.
- Once the onions are caramelized add 2 cups of chicken broth and stir, scraping up any little bits off the bottom of the pot. Cook for 5-10 minutes and let the liquid evaporate and everything become jam like.
- Add the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Add the boiling water, worcestershire sauce and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
- After the 30 minutes is up, remove the bay leaves and add the gnocchi and stir. Cook until the gnocchi float to the top
- Once gnocchi is cooked, pour into bowls and top with both cheeses. Let melt or you can microwave it to speed up the process. If you want to make it like a French onion soup, you could also put the soup into oven-safe ramekins and place under the broiler to melt the cheese.
- Top with parsley if desired.
Notes
Store in a airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge.
Add seasonings to your liking!
Ham or grilled cheese sandwiches would be good with this.
If the onions are sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning add a little bit of water and stir.
Want to add meat to this? Cooked sausage would be a great option.
