Description

A comforting and hearty soup featuring tender beef short ribs, caramelized onions, and a rich broth, topped with melted cheese and crusty bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs short ribs
  • 4 onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Baguette or crusty bread, sliced
  • 1 cup grated cheese (Gruyère or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Sear the short ribs in a large pot with olive oil over medium heat, seasoning generously with salt and pepper, for about 8–10 minutes.
  2. Caramelize the onions and minced garlic in the same pot for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden brown.
  3. Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom and letting it reduce for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add beef broth and thyme, then return the seared short ribs to the pot. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
  5. Simmer for 2-3 hours on low until the ribs are tender.
  6. Broil the soup in oven-safe bowls with baguette slices and cheese on top until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Prepare the soup a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Reheat and broil the cheese before serving.
