Instant Pot French Onion Soup

Enjoy a warm cup in the morning

 

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

  • 2 ½ lbs sweet onions, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick 

  • 2 cloves garlic — minced

  • 3-4 springs fresh thyme

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 8 cups bone broth

  • Sea salt to taste

 

Instructions

  1. Turn the instant pot to sauté. Wait till the screen says “HOT” and then add the oil. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until onions slightly soften and start to release liquid, approx. 5-10 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons water. Cover and seal the Instant Pot, then set to cook on HIGH pressure (manual setting) for 20 minutes. Release pressure to vent immediately.

  2. Remove the lid, then turn the instant pot back to sauté. Remove thyme stems and bay leaf and cook for 5 minutes letting some of the liquid evaporate. Add balsamic vinegar, then let simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Add bone broth and bring back to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
