Easy Chinese Corn Soup

Cuisine

This quick and easy Chinese corn soup is so good that I never bother ordering it from restaurants anymore!

I’ve taken all the best flavors of a classic crock of French onion soup and baked them into a light and fluffy focaccia. I like to use a small Dutch oven to cook the onions so the heat is evenly distributed and none of them scorch, which can make them bitter. If the onions seem to be sticking to the bottom of the pan, simply add one or two tablespoons of water and scrape up any brown bits. I love the classic flavor of Gruyère, but you could also use shredded sharp Cheddar! Herbes de Provence let me pretend I’m enjoying this in a chic Parisian café, but dried thyme works just as well if that’s what you have on hand.
