Ingredients for French Onion Soup Rice

  • 2 large onions thinly sliced (Yellow onions work best for that perfect balance of sweetness and richness.)
  • 2 tbsp butter For caramelizing the onions to golden perfection.
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice This type of rice holds up well and absorbs all the delicious flavors.
  • 4 cups broth You can use beef, chicken, or vegetable broth depending on your preference. Beef broth gives it a deeper flavor, while vegetable broth is great for a lighter, vegetarian option.
  • 1 tsp dried thyme A key herb to bring that classic French onion soup taste.
  • ½ cup grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese These cheeses melt beautifully and add that creamy, gooey texture that’s so satisfying.
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley For garnish, adding a pop of color and fresh flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste To season and balance the flavors.

Optional Add-ins:

  • A splash of white wine If you like a hint of acidity and complexity in your broth.
  • A few slices of toasted baguette For that classic French onion soup experience!
  • Garlic Add 1-2 cloves, minced, for extra flavor if desired.
