A rich and comforting French Onion Gnocchi Soup that combines the deep, caramelized flavors of slow-cooked onions with tender gnocchi and melted Gruyere cheese, perfect for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 4 onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cups beef broth

For the Gnocchi:

  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi

Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes. This process develops the deep, sweet flavor essential for the soup.
  2. Add the Broth and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth with the caramelized onions. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Cook the Gnocchi: Stir in the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender.
  4. Serve with Cheese: Ladle the soup into bowls and generously top each serving with shredded Gruyere cheese. The heat from the soup will gently melt the cheese for a delicious finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced onions to ensure even caramelization.
  • Be patient when caramelizing to develop full flavor without burning.
  • Gruyere cheese melts beautifully and adds a nutty richness, but you can substitute with Swiss or mozzarella if preferred.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace beef broth with vegetable broth and omit Gruyere or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • This soup is best served immediately to enjoy the melted cheese texture.
