Cooking Instructions
Add Liquid Ingredients
Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 5 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
Simmer the Broth
Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Croutons
While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
Serve the Soup
Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls and top each with a few croutons and a generous amount of Gruyère cheese.
Broil the Cheese
Place the bowls under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Garnish and Enjoy
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious French Onion Soup!
