Outback Steakhouse French Onion Soup Recipe

There's something super cozy about a warm bowl of French onion soup any time of year.
Outback Steakhouse has perfected theirs, known for its rich heartiness and deep, savory flavors with cheesy topping.
I love crafting this one right at home with its aromatic onions caramelized and combined with flavorful broth.
One secret to nailing this is to take your time with the onions, ensuring they reach that perfect caramelized state for the best flavor.

  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 3 medium Onions sliced
  • 1 qt Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 2 cubes Beef Bouillon
Instructions
 
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently until onions are soft and translucent.
  • Keep the heat low to avoid browning the onions.
  • Sprinkle flour over the onions, stirring continuously to blend.
  • This step forms a base for the soup's consistency that you'll love!
  • Gradually add the beef broth and bouillon cubes.
  • Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while ensuring all flour lumps are dissolved.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
  • You should avoid boiling the cream to prevent it from curdling.
