Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare 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 caramelized and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Broth

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the beef broth and white wine, then add the thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare for Broiling

    Preheat your broiler. Remove the bay leaves from the soup and ladle it into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of baguette and generously sprinkle with Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.

  4. 4

    Broil the Soup

    Place the bowls under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Onion Soup Gratinée!
