Method

Soup Preparation

  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 25-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Once the onions are caramelized, add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Herbs

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

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the soup is simmering, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, place a slice of toasted baguette on top of each bowl, and sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese.

  3. 7

    Broil and Serve

    Place the bowls under the broiler in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and serve hot.
