Soup Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Onions

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

2

Add Garlic and Broth

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the beef broth and add thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.

3

Season the Soup

Remove the bay leaves and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

4

Prepare the Bread and Cheese

While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the slices of French bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the Gruyère cheese on top of each slice.

5

Broil the Cheese

Return the bread to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

6

Serve the Soup

Ladle the hot onion soup into bowls, top each bowl with a slice of cheesy bread, and serve immediately.
