It\u2019s one of those dishes that I simply must order every time I see it on a menu at a French restaurant. The richness of the broth, the silkiness of the onions and of course the cheesy, crusty bread that soaks it all up. The Classic French Onion Soup instantly transports you back to an old-world Paris bistro where you can imagine yourself lounging around for hours talking, drinking, and eating

What Wine is best for a Classic French Onion Soup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You want quite a sweet fortified wine for cooking a Classic French Onion Soup. The traditional approach is to use Madeira Wine, however other fortified wine options work just as well. Port is another commonly used fortified. If you really want to ramp up the flavor you can also use Pedro Ximenez from Spain. A dark, rich raisin tasting fortified which is beautiful in a French Onion Soup

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do highly recommend adding the fortified wine to the dish however if you are unsure, just add a little bit at a time until you’re happy with the overall flavor profile. The wine is added right at the end as a last step before you broil the Soup, so you can afford to experiment with the wine a little to see what flavor you prefer. Definitely give it a go though, trust us, the flavor is worth it!
