If you love onions this is your perfect recipe! I love onions and I love how easy they are to grown here in Seattle. That’s one crop I never seem to screw up!

Here is the caveat to this recipe.  Caramelizing onions can take a while.  It’s 1000% worth it, but it still takes time. If you’re looking to take a shortcut, try my caramelized onions in the slowcooker trick! I make these every couple of weeks for this recipe, to cook into eggs, even on sandwiches. A caramelized onion add a a great flavor to so many dishes!

Paleo French Onion Soup

Print

Warm up with a best french onion soup ever!

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour

Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 5 Large sweet onion- I used Walla Walls’s
• Italian Seasoning, or your favorite herb blend
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 1 stick ( 1/2 cup) butter or other cooking fat
• 2 quarts broth- chicken bone broth preferred
• Optional- Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Cut of the onions into slices.  No need for fancy perfectly, even cutting here. Just slice em up!
2. Over low heat, I did between 2-3 on my gas stove, melt the butter then add the onions.
3. Salt the onions and add a few shakes of seasoning. About 2 tsp.
4. Let the onions do their thing, and get golden brown.  This takes around 45min.  You want to stir occasionally.
5. Once the onions are nice and golden, toss in the arrowroot powder and stir for 5 min.
6. Now, add the broth. Simmer over medium heat 20 min.
7. While the soup is simmering, shred or flake a small pile of parmesan cheese on a non stick Silpat.  Heat the cheese up under the broiler until is melted and flat.
8. Pull the cheese rounds out and let cool on a paper towel.  They will crisp up while cooling.
9. Serve the soup in a bowl with one cheese round on top.

**IF you are starting with finished caramelized onions- melt 2 tbs butter or fat in your pot, and add the onions cook over medium low heat for about 5 min stirring.  Add the broth and follow steps 5 from above.

Notes

Helpful Equipment- Large heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven, optional slipmat for sheet pans if making Parmesan crisps.
