Onion Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Onions

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

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Wine

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Prepare Baguette

   While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the baguette and place the slices on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes until golden.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with toasted baguette slices, and sprinkle Gruyère cheese on top. Broil the bowls for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
