Onion Soup With Sausage Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon.
• STEP 2.Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the butter and onions. Cook the onions until they are soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• STEP 3.Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot and cook for another minute. Return the sausage to the pot and add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
• STEP 4.Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated cheese, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.

Cooking Tips

• To save time, you can use pre-cooked sausage instead of cooking it from raw.
• For a vegetarian version, you can omit the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
• If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to puree some or all of the soup before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover onion soup with sausage can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through.
• Serve the soup with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for added flavor.
