French Onion Soup with Au Jus Recipe
French Onion Soup is the bistro classic that warms you all the way through — slow-caramelized onions in a deep, savory broth topped with crusty bread and a blanket of melted Gruyere that stretches with every spoonful. This is the soup that turns an ordinary Tuesday into something special.
Ingredients
2 thinly sliced onions
4 tbsp butter
1 tsp sugar
3 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine
1 pkg Pioneer® Au Jus Gravy Mix
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
To taste croutons
To taste shredded Parmesan cheese
This French Onion Soup with Au Jus recipe uses Pioneer Au Jus Gravy Mix to build the rich, deeply beefy french onion soup gravy base that makes this classic taste like it simmered for hours in a French kitchen.
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions
Combine butter, onions and sugar in a large saute pan and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
- Deglaze with Red Wine
Once the onions are golden brown, add red wine and reduce until very little liquid remains. Remove from heat and reserve.
- Prepare the Au Jus
In a medium saucepot combine Pioneer Au Jus Gravy Mix and beef broth and whisk vigorously.
- Simmer Until Thickened
Heat the mixture over medium flame until it starts to simmer and thicken.
- Add Onions and Simmer
Add onions and continue to simmer over medium heat for an additional 5 minutes.

Garnish with croutons and cheese and serve!
