1
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 30-40 minutes).
2
Deglaze the Pot
Pour in the dry white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce for about 5 minutes.
3
Add Broth and Seasonings
Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes.
4
Serve
Remove the bay leaf and ladle the soup into bowls. Top with crusty bread and shredded cheese, then broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
