What did you do with the bones the last time you egged beef ribs? I hope ya saved them. I did.
Here are the bones egging away:
I saved the bones and made some rich stock, which had a nice smokey flavor to it.
So today I used the beef stock to make French Onion Soup. Mostly based on Tyler Florence's Ultimate recipe:

Here it is with toast, mozzarella and fresh parmesan on top, and fresh thyme garnish:
WOW. It was great. Thanks, FLpoolman for the idea. I have been hungry for it since he posted it the other day. A perfect soup for the 60 degree weather tonight!

Absolutely EGGtastic, I made a batch last year and left to cook on the large overnight and it really thickend up. Shut the BGE down about 10 pm after about 3 hours of cooking and it was fantastically thick.
-
Richard, this thickened up nicely, due to the flour. I LOVE the flavor. I took my time carmelizing the onions, and that rich flavor really comes through. Oh yeah, that and the red wine!! I poured a splash of Chardonnay in there too, just for good measure.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

Nice Faith,, when you get the craving ya gotta go with it. I put that soup at the top of my comfort foods.

caramelizing the onions is the secret to good french onion soup flavor. Last summer we at a favorite resturant in seal cove and had FOS twice about a week apart, the second time it was superb, a deeper richer flavor. We made a comment to our server and he said that the difference was that the previous week someone different made the soup and did not caramelize the onions and thus a blander flavor.
-
I have been thinking about that soup also :blink: Going to have to wait for the weekend. Looks fantastic!
-
This is what I started with and it was even better the next day or so.

I can taste it from here Faith and it tastes great. :P
-
I ate beef ribs today and gave the bones to my dogs. No soup for me. :(
-
Nice idea and a BIG flavor bump I bet... French onion is one of my favorite soups. Instead of broiling the cheese and bread, I use my MAPP torch just like the old gal whose recipe I favor does it....Hehee

As if I needed a reason for beef ribs :unsure:
Thanks, will get right on that.....Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
That looks and sounds great! Did you make the soup on the egg as well, or just on the stove?Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
-
Wingrider, you can bet that the carmelizing makes a huge difference. I took my time and carmelized them for a long, long time on medium heat. There is a fine line between them becoming carmelized and getting burnt!Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

Faith, the soup looks delicious!! But Zip says parm "blows". :laugh:
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

SmokeyPitt, it was cooked on the stove. What a rich, rich flavor the egged beef bone stock gave the soup though.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

Julia??? You DEVIL! :evil: Yummee lookin soup. I still like to watch her shows.

Of course it's not wide open like when starting lump, but it's a handy tool for browning.Happy Trails~thirdeye~Barbecue is not rocket surgery

Well, I think it looks terrific! I haven't had FOS in a very long time. That is about to change, I think. Thanks for posting!
