Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

1

Caramelize the Onions

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

2

Add Garlic and Broth

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the beef broth and white wine, then add thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

3

Simmer the Soup

Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Discard the bay leaves.

4

Prepare the Bread

While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French baguette into thick slices and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden.

5

Serve the Soup

Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Place a toasted baguette slice on top of each bowl, then sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese. Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
