I just skipped the onions and the bread part and just used the cognac and white wine. Now I'm hungry.
alcohol with cheese?

"It's the perfect soup for broken hears and bad hangovers so I find it very useful," Didn't expect this relatable content on Jamie Oliver's channel.
I know this is an older video, but I have to say, this is still the best french onion soup I have eaten in my area. I'm enjoying making it again today. Thank you for your passion for cooking.
As a Greek chef observing the evolvement of the major european cuisines, I am extremely glad I can watch videos like this one right here at the end of a long day! Keep up the good work Alex & if you feel like visiting Greece, feel free to contact!
I adore that you give vegetarian and non alcoholic versions of your recipes!! Thank you so much for that!!! :)
Jenny Ryder I never drink alcohol, but occasionally use it in cooking. I always thought the cooking gets rid of all the alcohol. What are the benefits to substituting it with something different?
Sorry if my English seems wonky.
@@In5an1tyB if you're a Muslim or very sensitive to it you can't consume alcohol, some alcohol stays there.
@@In5an1tyB All islamic countries doesn't sell alcohol or pork
ḤEMÃ That's not true. Turkey is mostly Muslim but you can easily get alcohol in most places.
@@Frambusjt they're not fully Muslim, not in all aspects as is common in the Arab world.
I love it! He's adorable!! And watching the video made me want to run to the grocery right this second and grab all of the ingredients!
Ready. Steady. Cook !
Alex French Guy Cooking I actually did make this last week after watching. I'm watching again because I'm back at it.
Fit Couple Cooks quack twee eggs
Just did exactly that... not much of a cook, but here it goes!
Me too!
I just made the best french onion soup I have ever tasted and it is all thanks to the "French Cooking Guy". Simple and delicious and a delight to work along with the video. My new favorite. Can't wait to learn more with you.
This man is the most precious man I've seen in quite some time. I want to cook in his kitchen. (In a totally wholesome way.) 😅
Just made this, it tastes NOTHING like the canned soup (looking at you Progresso) . It's actually very sweet, needs a nice pinch of salt to balance it out. Soooo good.
Dominix canned soup(e.g. progresso) lose a lot of flavour due to how long they are kept on the shelves, canned food is also built to last no tatse.
You were supposed to salt liberally at the beginning cause the onions turn to candy while cooking
You can’t even compare “from scratch” to “canned” food. EVER!
I am currently making a twist of this. I am literally insane, so I added beef and bacon.
Just made this soup! Thank you! It came out awesome
I had this in Paris earlier this year and it was incredible! This video had my mouth watering..
Hello French Guy Cooking! I finally got around to do this soup! I have a small period where i cant really eat solid foods, so i was looking for soups, and this one was a sure winner! I didnt go through with grilling the soup with cheese, but just eating it plainly with good bread. And it was amazing. I cooked it for 2 friends and the were also very pleased! And i didnt cry while cutting the onions, so no waste!!!
Much love from Denmark!
Dear French guy cooking, your voice and humor are also very comforting. Will definitely try this once I get some onions!
You're so incredible, Alex! Thank you for this recipe! The weather is starting to cool down here in New England and I can't think of a better soup for what is forecasted to be a chilly, Autumn. :)
It IS!! And thank you, Jamie, for hosting a great place like this! We're lucky to have you, Jamie Oliver. :)
"So maybe I could season the soup with my tears!" hahaha
***** StoneyCreek007 It not as efficient as I thought it would be. haha
+Jamie Oliver Did someone call me
+Alex French Guy Cooking
does the caniac contain alcohol?????
It's all I can think when I'm cooking 🤣🤣
I have prepared this soup so many times ...and although I know the recipe I love coming back to watch him. The soup is amazing!
these food tube videos are all high quality, every single one of them is worth typing out and printing for saving as a recipe.
This guy is hilarious lol mercy beaucoup pour la recette :)
You spelled merci * wrong
Mercy? Miserere : hilarious too
Autocorrect, my keyboard isn't used to french
You two should get a room :)
No thanks!
Great video...thanks for sharing
I know I will make this soup very often from now on, it's one of the best foods in the world and fairly easy to make. Thank you French guy.
I just love how Jamie is bringing toguether dishes and chefs from all over the world.
How did I miss this?? I HAVE to make this! Or come and make for me? :P
o/
tf lol
after 3 years i hope you woke up and still not waiting for him to come make soup for you!
BootycallJemma
Sorry I'm late. I'm running to your place.
So good I love Jamie so much
This is phenomenal, I followed it exactly, herb bundle, brandy, comte and all. Boom, wow. Had no idea this decadent soup is so easy to make!
Wow! This looks amazing. This is the most simple recipe I've seen for this. I'm thinking about trying it today.
"With a guilty amount" is the most accurate quantity measurement ever!
🤣
Such cool presentation! I really appreciated the tip for a version without alcohol.
Like, not using alcohol ? It will still taste really good... =)
hot alcohol = no alcohol
that why you can put as much as you want, you will never feel it
only the taste.
ha6464 why miss out so much flavour? adding wine or brandy to a dish adds so much flavour and once it’s cooked it has no alcohol left anyway. I always add a splash of brandy to this dish and it’s so tasty. I add red wine to ragout, brandy to peppercorn sauce, white wine to risotto because good cooking is all about adding layers of flavour!
@@JulieWallis1963 u do understand that there is 1.8 billion muslims out there?
I really wanna try this,especially now that the weather slowly gets cooler and colder in Greece
Seem's like something interesting and yummy to prepare Saturday afternoon when you have the time
I have made this a handful of times and it's absolutely delicious! I love your recipe!!! Merci beaucoup!!!
Sometimes I watch this video just to brighten up my day.
man this guy is hilarious and a really great chef! totally enjoy watching his videos!!! keep up the great work :)
***** Lu Kubin :)))))))
I agree
I made this just now and i didn't even put the cheese and bread on it cause i was really hungry haha. It's AMAZING. i love this, will definitely make this often! Thanks!
This is the most balanced and elegant recipe for this classic I have seen on YT. Good job bro.
I love how he provides alternatives to alcohol and a vegetarian option.
Thank You Sir
Agreed
Literally came here to say this
Absolutely love french onion soup! Also love the amount of cheese you put on the top, you can never have too much cheese!
Cheese = Melty Indulgence
***** "sprinkle that with a guilty amount of melted cheese" XD
The browned melted cheese looks amazing too.
Abel & Cole whAt kind of cheese is that? I didn’t get it was it Guere cheese !(spelling?)
@@rosiecunningham2490 Gruyère cheese
Thank you from Russia - I was looking for a good recipe of onion soup for months, but I didn't try to find a recipe from truly French guy and now I just realized that your recipe (the recipe at this video) is just literally perfect and balanced, and I'm happy about it.
This soup is so awesome and delicious. Here in germany I eat a lot of onion soup in restaurants, so I was really thrilled to do it at home and this soup is amazing! So much better as in the restaurants, really balanced out in the flavour, filling and easy to make.
You're a nutter! Lol
This recipe has made my day. I love making and eating onion soup and just watching it being made makes me happy...
It made me happy too :)
This one also works very well with an additional slice of smoked cheese on top. I also usually put half of the crusty bread at the bottom, half at the top. mjummy!
My favourite video for onion soup. I saved it and watch it every winter to make the soup for a lunch starter. Thank you.
I did it last weekend! Oh my god this dish is epic. Thank you so much. Hugs from Buenos Aires, Argentina
he is so cute i love him
baek sprout same!!
More French food!
The best onion soup is the one my family does with the beef stock left over from a chinese fondue. Not only do we season the stock for the fondue with thyme&stuff but it also has the delicious juices from everything we cooked in it. It's less waste, money-saving and delicious.
Hands down my favorite soup, thanks for the recipe!
Love the recipe and the guy is so cute, love the accent !
Best soup on the planet
Oh come on! And what about the minestrone?!?! I love both!
***** I'm on Team French Onion for life. Tomato bisque rivals it though.
But Jamie, you can settle this. Among my friends is an ongoing debate as to whether broth based or cream based soups are better. What's your take? This is severely important. It's tearing our group apart.
I agree. Simple to do, unassuming, but absolutely delicious, especially in winter.
-but sweet corn chicken soup- Yep definitely.
Minestrone is the best
Just made it. Its very delicious. Took me 2 hours thought, but so worth it.
I made this tonight. I’ll repeat this again tomorrow. Oh my, this was sooo delicious! Thank you!
I just made this two days ago. Had to omit the wine and cognac, but it was still delicious :)
@@iamdbz8302 I think you can simply leave it. French cooking academy has a video where he makes classic French onion soup that doesn't have any alcohol in it.
Edit: watch the video again. You can use apple cider vinegar instead.
tried it and it was extreme good!
making it today myself. did you add cognac or brandy?
nope.
ok, thanks
I love French onion soup. One of the local Pub&Grills has this as a lunch special paired with a French dip sandwich. The soup doubles as the dip in this lunch combo. Great combo on a cold day! Chris
I love this soup... I've tasted many of them from different chefs in different restaurants... and most of the time it's really delicious... one of my most favorite soups !!!
I'm just little bit surprised that you, french man of many cooking skills and qualities did this video just now and not earlier... anyway, good job !!!! keep going ! :)
He looks like the guy from Ratatouille!
Andrew Galbraith he doesn't. Like.. At all
Like a Mexican version, I see it
😂😂😂

damn he's charming.

@@rousod 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Well he is french
Gayyy
@nobita nobi what's the diff?
I imagine him as an animated movie character! I love the accent and the way he's talking so passionately about the food. Sometimes the host of a video is enough to get a thumbs up.
Just discovered you! Thank you for an easy approach to French Cuisine!
Delicious!
Yummy! I want some give me the recipe
Dude... that looks f**king good
This guy has lots of charisma, I love it!!
A teardrop at 03:50 :P
The recipe link does not work :(
so many good cooking tips in this video - i didn't know about keeping the root on the onion when cutting it or that you shouldn't season your food too early when cooking! Thank you! I will make this for my parents when I see them next
Absolutely the best French onion soup recipe ever.So delicious and so easy to make!!!
Thank you:D Super!!!
French onion soup is tasty, sub and like. Happy New Year.
Why do I get an Aladeen vibe off of this guy?!
:P :P
hahahhahhahahahhaha mann!
starsapphire2013 Aladeen, or Aladeen?
starsapphire2013 lmao
That’s so aladeen you are a aladeen guy
4kvat evidence? He doesn’t look middle eastern at all. Maybe it’s the hair but other than that I don’t get any Aladdin vibe. No French woman would have a rape baby, they’d get aborted.
Love Alex's videos! Funny and entertaining, but also very instructive. And oh! that delicious voice!
Tried this out absolutely loved it
The canned and boxed beef stock/broth are pretty bad. I like the Progresso brand the best but still not that good. I try to improve it by sautéing a lb (.5 Kg) 95/5 ground beef in a wide pan until heavily browned, then add 48 oz (1.25 L) of the boxed stock and reduce that by 1/3. Strain it and it's a passable beef stock. I also prefer to crumble the bread into bite size pieces. Comte or Manchego cheese works great and I like to mix it with a little San Joachin Gold cheddar from Fiscalini Farms, Fresno, CA. It's a cross between aged cheddar and Parmesan. Incredible texture and flavor. Very happy to find this channel. I really like Alex. Thanks Chef.
Thanks for the cheese recommendation. If anyone's wondering, 8 oz. of the San Joaquin Gold is $11.
This is my favorite dish. I´ve been craving it for months, but I still want to wait for the weather to become a bit colder, that´s when this soup is at it´s best! :)
Why? Just make the damn thing if u r craving it
I have literally used this video several times as a recipe and has never disappointed, not even my super-cook mom!!
WOW WOW WOW. This is the best French onion soup I've ever tasted! Perfection! That's it!
AHH what a great tip to hold off on seasoning until the ending stages. It's so rare to find a not-too-salty onion soup when I eat out. Maybe most kitchen staff believe in a good cry over their onion soup. :D
who else go here to sea a real good onion soup after watching kitchen nightmare?
Me. Didn't Gordon say something about it taking 4 hours to caramelize the onions? I will have to go back and check.
Alex! This recipe was fantastic, and it really was helpful! I lost my mom's recipe for her French Onion Soup and this was DAMNED close! Thanks!
Thank you for mentioning how to make this French Onion Soup vegetarian. I was wondering about it and then you mentioned it. What a great recipe!
I thought I was the only one that seasoned my Onion Soup with my tears... Glad I'm not the only one
It's not that efficient is it ?
One of my favorite recipes, but the link no longer works for the recipe!
Cooking this tommorow, I do love french cookery 🇫🇷
Made it today and was amazing!! Best onion soup ever!! Thanks!!!

Fantastic recipe! Tried it and loved it.
Love how you so enjoying doing what you do well. Will try you soup recipe for sure looks easy

Colin Rubbert Merci
Grayson Maximillian Phoenix is
This isn't the recipe from this video
It's perfect on a [censored] day...yup...
This is comforting on so many levels. Maybe coz the french guy is funny and I'm in love with soups
I love this guy so much.... french guy cooking...
Can I have the recipe? It's gone :(
I have made this soup twice now and it's great! But the cheese always sinks to the bottom of the bowl and only a little stays on the crouton (single slice of baguette). This means I never get that nice crusty cheesy layer on top (the very best part). Alex, how do I get my cheese to float? Please answer I really want my crusty cheese!
+Justin Berwick I guess you should use more bread or toast the bread longer before using it?
(Just a quick thought from my side)
I guess it depends what kind of cheese you using
The French Compte that is recommended.
***** Or Swiss Cheese and maybe even Parmesan. I don't other cheese like Cheddar, Morzarella, etc work well as they would other power the dish.
Regular Girl
what
This is one of my favorite soups. Delicious.
Such an easy recipe to follow and so tasty. Thanks!
I add the thyme to the onions just prior to the wine (or brandy, depending) ... The Google short link to the recipe is dead... what was the name of the French cheese option to Gruyere? Was it COMTE? merci mes amis!
Yep, comté
Y
