Sannich in Soup is a hearty and warming onion soup that originates from Switzerland. It is usually served as a comfort food during the colder months of the year, and many variations of the recipe exist throughout Europe. This version uses two different broths, chicken and beef, to create a full flavor profile that complements the caramelized onions. The broth and onion mixture is topped with slices of buttered baguette and two types of cheese, emmenthaler and gruyere, which are traditionally hard-to-find Swiss varieties that contribute a nuttiness and creaminess to the dish. Sannich in Soup may seem simple at first glance, but it is a delicately balanced recipe that rewards patience and attention to detail.

Instructions

1.Thinly slice the onions and sauté them in a large pot with a tablespoon of butter until they are golden brown.
2.Add the beef broth, chicken broth, and dry red wine to the pot, along with a sprig of fresh thyme, bay leaf, balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and salt to taste.
3.Simmer the mixture for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together.
4.Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F and slice the baguette into 1/2 inch slices. Spread each slice with soft butter and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
5.Once the soup is done, remove the thyme sprig and bay leaf. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls and place 2-3 slices of the toasted baguette on top. Grate the emmenthaler and gruyere cheese over the top of each bowl, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Broil the bowls in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

PROS

This onion soup is very flavorful and comforting on a cold day.
The combination of the two broths gives it a rich taste, while the cheese and bread complement the soup perfectly.
It makes for a filling and satisfying meal on its own, or as a starter for a larger meal.

CONS

The caramelized onions in the soup can take up to 40 minutes to cook, so it may not be the quickest recipe to make.
The final broiling step must also be watched closely, to avoid burning the cheese or over-toasting the bread.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Onions are low in calories, high in fiber, and can support heart health and blood sugar control. Chicken and beef broths are also sources of minerals like zinc and magnesium, important for the immune system and bone health. Cheese contains protein and calcium, and the bread provides carbohydrates for energy.
