Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

1

Sauté the Onions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.

2

Add Wine and Broth

Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

3

Simmer the Soup

Allow the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Remove bay leaves before serving.

4

Prepare the Croutons

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the French bread slices with olive oil and bake until golden and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.

5

Serve the Soup

Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of toasted bread, then sprinkle with Havarti, Provolone, and Parmesan cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6

Garnish

Remove from oven and top with mesquite crispy onions before serving.
