Instructions
- Add butter and oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
- When butter is melted, add onion, brown sugar, thyme, garlic and bay leaf to the pot.
- Cook and stir for 10-15 minutes until onions have cooked down by half and have a pasta-like consistency.
- Add brandy to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Continue to cook and stir until alcohol has cooked off, then add red wine and warmed broth to the pot and stir.
- Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
- Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 8 minutes.
- When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure. Remove and discard thyme stems and bay leaf. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into crocks, place a slice of bread on each crock and a slice of cheese on each piece of bread. Sprinkle with paprika.
- Put crocks on a baking sheet lined with foil and set under the broiler until the top begins to bubble and brown, 5-7 minutes.

Thank you for the feedback.
Very easy yet so rich! Ive made French onion soup before but not in Instant pot and not with all the flavorful ingredients in this recipe! (I made it in my RV… Didn’t have brown sugar so substituted real make syrup and no Brandy but used 1/4 cup Bourbon)
Fantastic. Quick & easy & tastes like you cooked it all day!
One of our all time favs. Perfect for one of those Western NY cold winter day’s, or Buffalo Bills game. I have used croutons instead of bread. They do’nt seem to get so soggy. Great recipe/ Great app
I would have let the
I made this vegetarian with Pacific mushroom broth. Instead of broiling, I made a grilled cheese sandwich, quartered, and floated each quarter as I ate, all the way down to the bottom. Delicious!
