Ribeye-Loaded French Onion Soup
  1. 1

    Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the butter and oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Remove the steak; pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Stir in the onions and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the wine and bring it to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Boil until the wine is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cut the steak from the bones and chop it into 1-inch pieces; add to the pot. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.

  6. 6

    Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beef is very tender, about 3 hours. Add water as needed to keep the onions and beef covered.

  7. 7

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the bread on a small baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Bake the bread in the preheated oven until toasted, about 6 minutes.

  9. 9

    Mix the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl.

  10. 10

    Remove and discard the bones and thyme sprigs from the pot. Skim off any excess fat. Stir in the remaining salt and pepper.

  11. 11

    Position an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Divide the soup among 4 oven-proof bowls or mugs and set them on a large foil-lined baking sheet. Top each bowl with the toast and the cheeses.

  12. 12

    Broil the soups until the cheese is browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
