Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any brown bits. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 20-30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove Bay Leaf

    Remove the bay leaf before serving.
