French Shallot Soup Recipe makes 4 servings.

This version of classic French onion soup is simple to prepare; though it takes a while, most is hands-off time. For the best flavor, don’t rush the soup, don’t skip the wine and cognac, and make your own beef stock from bones. You can mix any proportion of onions and shallots in this recipe. Shallots are milder than most onions, but they also have a garlicky note. If you’re not sure how much you like shallot flavor, a safe start would be to use half onions and half shallots. Here’s some helpful shallot math: 1 medium shallot weighs about a half-ounce and dices into approximately 1 tablespoon; 1 large shallot dices into about 2 tablespoons; and 1 pound of whole shallots yields about 4 cups diced.
