Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel and thinly slice the onions. Aim for uniform thickness for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Chop the Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves finely to ensure they infuse well into the soup.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces. Set aside for toasting later.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Add the beef broth, water, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes.

  5. 8

    Toast the Baguette

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

Serving

  1. 9

    Prepare to Serve

    Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

  2. 10

    Add Cheese

    Ladle the hot soup into oven-safe bowls. Place a toasted baguette slice on top of each bowl and sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese.

  3. 11

    Broil the Soup

    Place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

  4. 12

    Serve Hot

    Carefully remove from the oven and serve the soup immediately. Enjoy your delicious French onion soup!
