Soup Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove bay leaves from the soup and ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls.

  6. 6

    Top with Cheese

    Place a slice of crusty bread on top of each bowl of soup and generously sprinkle with cheese.

  7. 7

    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 melted and bubbly.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your baked French onion soup!
