An elevated twist on classic French onion soup, featuring caramelized onions and pillowy gnocchi topped with gooey Gruyère cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package gnocchi (store-bought potato gnocchi)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced (yellow or sweet onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (use low-sodium if preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or 1 tablespoon fresh)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the thinly sliced onion.
  2. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat if they brown too fast.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the beef broth, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions in salted boiling water. Drain well.
  6. Stir the cooked gnocchi into the onion-broth mixture.
  7. Preheat your broiler. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Top with shredded Gruyère.
  8. Broil 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap beef broth for mushroom or vegetable broth. Sauté mushrooms with the onions for added depth.
