Lightened-Up French Onion Soup with Herb-Crusted Sourdough
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic French Onion Soup, featuring sweet, slow-simmered onions and tender lean beef sirloin, infused with aromatic thyme and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Topped with a crisp, herb-crusted sourdough slice crowned with melted Gruyère cheese, this comforting bowl delivers savory depth with a modern, health-conscious upgrade.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Yellow Onions
3 ounces Lean Beef Sirloin
2 cups Low Sodium Beef Broth
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves
1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 slice Sourdough Bread
1 ounce Gruyère Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the onions.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Sauté until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 10-12 minutes.
In a separate pan, quickly sear the lean beef sirloin strips until lightly browned on all sides, then set aside.
Add the beef broth to the caramelized onions along with the thyme and balsamic vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the browned beef strips to the soup and allow everything to gently simmer together for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Meanwhile, preheat your broiler. Place the sourdough bread slice on a baking sheet and toast until lightly crisp. Sprinkle with a little extra thyme if desired.
Once the bread is toasted, top it evenly with Gruyère cheese. Place under the broiler just until the cheese melts and lightly browns.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve with the herb-crusted, cheese-topped sourdough on the side or floating atop the soup.
