French Onion Soup Rice is a delicious variation of traditional French onion soup, incorporating rice for added texture and heartiness. Here’s a simple recipe to make this comforting dish:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous sprinkle of grated Gruyere cheese.
- If desired, place the bowls under a broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
