A Taste of Thai Red Curry Paste deepens the flavor of this classic soup.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 1/2 lbs onions, peeled and thinly sliced*
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Red Curry Paste
  • 2-14 oz cans beef broth
  • 2-10 oz cans beef consommé
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon browning and seasoning sauce, such as Kitchen Bouquet
  • Optional garnish: 8-10 toasted French bread rounds (stale or toasted bread works best)
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • *Note: If using a food processor to slice onions, use the thinnest slicing disk.

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large soup pot over a medium high heat.
  2. Add onions and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions turn a deep brown (but not burned), about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Add Curry Paste and stir until dissolved into onions. Add 1 can beef broth. Mix until any browned bits on pot bottom are released.
  4. Add remaining can of beef broth, consommé, sherry and browning sauce. Stir and bring just to a boil. Pour into crock-pot. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Alternatively, soup can be simmered on stove for 1-2 hours.
  5. Serve soup as is, or topped with bread rounds. Top bread with a generous portion of cheese. For a dramatic effect, serve soup in individual ovenproof bowls and broil 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts. Watch carefully so cheese does not burn.
