1
Sauté the Onions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
2
Add Garlic and Deglaze
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
3
Add Broth and Seasonings
Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
4
Prepare for Baking
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the bay leaf from the soup and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.
5
Transfer to Baking Dishes
Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of crusty bread and a generous portion of grated cheese.
6
Bake the Soup
Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7
Serve
Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious baked onion soup!
