Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the yellow onions thinly and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Make the Broth Mix

    In a large pot, combine the beef broth, dry white wine, and water. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Thyme

    Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the caramelized onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Incorporate the Broth

    Pour the broth mixture into the pot with the onions. Add the bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for about 20 minutes.

  4. 6

    Prepare the Baguette

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

  5. 7

    Cheese Topping

    After the soup has simmered for 20 minutes, remove the bay leaf. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted baguette slices, and sprinkle generously with Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.

Finalizing

  1. 8

    Broil the Soup

    Place the bowls under the broiler in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve hot and enjoy your French Onion Soup!
