Onion Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Onions

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

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Broth

   Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and white wine, and stir to combine.

3. 3

   Season the Soup

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

4. 4

   Prepare Crostini

   While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice a baguette into 1/2-inch slices, brush with olive oil, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with grated Gruyère cheese, and serve with warm crostini on the side.
