Ingredients

• 6 medium Yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 6 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
• 4 pieces Crusty bread slices
• 1 cup Grated Gruyère cheese

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them thinly into half-moons.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook, stirring often, for 25-30 minutes until they are golden and caramelized. Be careful not to burn them; reduce the heat if necessary.

Step 4

While the onions are caramelizing, mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and dried thyme, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while stirring to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 8

Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot, and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

If using heavy cream, stir it into the soup at this point for extra richness.

Step 10

Preheat your oven's broiler and place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Toast them lightly on both sides under the broiler.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Float a slice of toasted bread on top of each serving, and generously sprinkle grated Gruyère cheese over the bread.

Step 12

Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

Step 13

Carefully remove the bowls from the oven, and let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your warm, comforting kremithosoupa onion soup!
