Default Kettle Smoked French Onion Soup

what's more comforting than a nice bowl of soup?

started with some onions (~2.5 lbs or so), peeled, and onto the kettle over some RO lump with some pecan chips, and the onion skins of course

Let them get happy for a bit

the sliced them up with a shallot

started with some butter in the DO, and the shallot first for a bit

Added the onions to the party, seasoned with some salt and pepper

let it all do it's thing for a while on med-lowish heat

Added some beef stock, seasoned with a bit of thyme, brought up to a boil, and simmered for a bit

Finished it by adding in a slice of french bread (buttered, with garlic salt and toasted), provolone, and under the broiler for a few mins
Ended up with this:

It certainly hit the spot...both bowls

Looks pretty tastey, one of my favorite soups. I usually add some cooking sherry or red wine to mine while rendering the onions. How much smke flavor did smoking the onions add?

Looks great! We were thinking of doing some french onion soup this weekend but never thought of smoking the onions. Did you just throw them on as is? Any oil or seasoning?

the smoke flavor was there, but subtle. definitely not overwhelming. red wine would have been nice--maybe next time. thanks for the tip.
