Homemade Calcasieu Onion Soup Recipe
Traditional French Onion Soup

This homemade traditional French Onion Soup recipe makes a flavorful onion soup featuring a blend of melted cheeses and bread. I compare this Calcasieu to my favorite soup at a local Italian restaurant. Yummy!

Ingredients:

• 4 cups white onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
• 12 cups beef stock or beef boullion
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup dark red wine
• thick slices of toasted french bread
• grated romano cheese
• sliced mozzarella cheese
• seasoned and buttered bread crumbs

Directions:

1. In a large pot, saute onion in the melted butter over low heat. Cook until onions are translucent. Do not brown.
2. Slowly, add the flour and stir to make a blond roux.
3. Slowly stir in beef stock and spices, then bring mixture to a boil.
4. Reduce heat and simmer for about five minutes. If using wine, add one minute before mixture is removed from the heat.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the cream and egg yolk. Add in a small amount of the soup.
6. Slowly stir this mixture into the soup pot and mix well.
7. In each serving bowl, place one slice of toasted french bread in the bottom. Then, sprinkle bread with romano cheese before ladling soup over the bread.
8. Place a slice of mozzerella on top of the soup. Place dishes in the oven until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
9. Serve and enjoy your homemade calcasieu soup!
