Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Caramelize the Onions

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

2

Add Garlic and Deglaze

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes.

3

Add Broth and Herbs

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

4

Toast the Baguette

While the soup is simmering, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

5

Serve 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 generously sprinkle with Gruyère cheese.

6

Broil and Enjoy

Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Carefully serve and enjoy your French onion soup!
