Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions to ensure even caramelization.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 10-15 minutes until they become soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the onions for another 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients in Crockpot

    Transfer the caramelized onions into a slow cooker. Add the beef broth, dry white wine, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well to combine.

  2. 5

    Cook the Soup

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the flavors meld.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the soup is cooking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices.

  2. 7

    Toast the Baguette

    Place the sliced baguette on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 8

    Serve the Soup

    Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls. Top each bowl with toasted baguette slices and sprinkle generously with Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.

  4. 9

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
