Soup Of The Day Or Caramelized Onion Soup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Caramelizing the Onions

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

2. 2

   Adding Garlic and Deglazing

   Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.

3. 3

   Simmering the Soup

   Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.

4. 4

   Preparing 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 golden and crispy.

5. 5

   Serving the Soup

   Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with toasted baguette slices, and sprinkle Gruyère cheese on top. Place bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
