Instant Pot French Onion Soup

Step 1

Turn Instant Pot to saute mode. Add butter and saute onions for 15 minutes until they start to brown, stirring occasionally and scraping bits off the bottom.

Step 2

Add salt & pepper, thyme and flour, stirring until onions are well coated. Pour in red wine, then saute for 1-2 minutes until some of the liquid is reduced.

Step 3

Add beef broth, then place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to seal. Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 5 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure then pressure cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Do a quick release of the pressure on the Instant Pot by flicking the switch at the top with a spoon. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid opens easily. Meanwhile, slice baguette, grate cheese and turn oven to broil on high.

Step 5

Ladle soup into ramekins or oven safe bowls, then top with a slice of baguette and sprinkle some cheese overtop. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted, watching closely so it doesn't burn. Remove from oven, then serve and enjoy!
