Description
A comforting soup made with caramelized onions, beef broth, and topped with melted cheese on croutons.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 8 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 baguette, sliced and toasted
- 1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer until the wine reduces by half.
- Add the beef broth, bay leaves, and dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted baguette slices and grated Gruyere cheese.
- Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute beef broth with vegetable broth. Be patient while caramelizing the onions for the best flavor.
