Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Thinly slice the yellow onions and chop the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baguette

    Slice the baguette into thick rounds for serving.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 30-40 minutes or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Deglaze

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, allowing the wine to reduce for about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Add the beef broth, salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. 6

    Incorporate Cream and Cheese

    Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the heavy cream, Gruyère cheese, and Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. If needed, adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the creamy French onion soup into bowls. Top with the toasted baguette slices and additional cheese if desired. Serve hot.
