Onion Soup Recipe

Cooking Directions

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, about 30-40 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Broth

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Then add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

3. 3

   Simmer the Soup

   Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

4. 4

   Prepare the Baguette

   While the soup is simmering, slice the baguette and toast the slices until golden brown.

5. 5

   Serve with Cheese

   Ladle the soup into bowls, place a slice of toasted baguette on top of each bowl, and sprinkle with Gruyère cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
