Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 6 large Yellow Onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup Dry White Wine
• 8 cups Beef Broth
• 1 whole Bay Leaf
• 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
• 1 loaf French Baguette
• 2 cups Gruyère Cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until melted.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring often, until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sugar and flour over the onions and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste of the flour.

Step 5

Deglaze the pot by slowly adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine. Add the bay leaf, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

While the soup simmers, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch-thick pieces, place on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until crispy.

Step 9

Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Preheat your broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls or crocks. Top each with a toasted baguette slice and a generous layer of grated Gruyère cheese.

Step 11

Place the soup bowls in the oven under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Step 12

Carefully remove the bowls from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot.
