Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Pinot Grigio and Beaujolais are great choices for French Onion Soup. A fruity Beaujolais will complement this soup's rich flavors. If you prefer white wine, try a pinot grigio. You could try Barefoot Cellars Pinot Grigio Wine. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

Barefoot Cellars Pinot Grigio Wine

The #1 selling Pinot Grigio in the US, Barefoot Pinot Grigio is fruity and floral and offers vibrancy on the mid-palate; the perfect 'patio wine'. Jasmine aromas and ripe apple flavors perfectly complement the tropical flavors and lingering lemon finish.

Instructions

  1. Special equipment: 6 (8- to 10-oz) flameproof soup crocks or ramekins; a cheese plane
  2. Cook onions, thyme, bay leaves, and salt in butter in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring frequently, until onions are very soft and deep golden brown, about 45 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in wine and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in broth, water, and pepper and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
  3. While soup simmers, put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350F.
  4. Arrange bread in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and toast, turning over once, until completely dry, about 15 minutes.
  5. Remove crotes from oven and preheat broiler. Put crocks in a shallow baking pan.
  6. Discard bay leaves and thyme from soup and divide soup among crocks, then float a crote in each. Slice enough Gruyre (about 6 ounces total) with cheese plane to cover tops of crocks, allowing ends of cheese to hang over rims of crocks, then sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  7. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until cheese is melted and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes.
