French Onion Soup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

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

2. 2

   Add Liquid Ingredients

   Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Then, add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for another 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Croutons

   While the soup is simmering, slice the French baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Toast them in the oven until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Soup

   Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the hot soup into oven-safe bowls. Place toasted baguette slices on top of the soup and generously sprinkle the Gruyère, Parmesan, and Mozzarella cheeses over the croutons.

5. 5

   Broil the Soup

   Preheat the broiler. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil for 2-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
