Piedmontese Onion Soup

A web-exclusive recipe from Italian Cooking and Living


More of a stew in consistency because of the generous amount of bread and cheese.

  • 1 pound onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 6 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 18 slices bread
  • 5 ounces grated Emmenthal
  • 5 ounces grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Cook the onions in 6 tablespoons of the butter until they are soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the flour; cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the broth, whisking; bring to a boil; cook 45 minutes at a gentle simmer. Meanwhile, toast the bread. Combine the Emmenthal and Parmigiano in a bowl; top the bread with the cheeses. Place the bread in a soup tureen, alternating it with pats of the remaining butter. Pour on the boiling soup; cover and let rest 10 minutes. Serve hot. Serves 6
