Ingredients
- 4 Onions Large, Thinly Sliced
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 4 cup Beef Broth
- 2 cup Chicken Broth
- 1/2 cup Dry White Wine
- 1 tsp Thyme Leaves, Dried
- 1 Bay Leaf
- Salt To Taste
- Pepper To Taste
- 4 slices French Baguette
- 1 cup Gruyere Cheese Grated
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes or until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pot, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine cook down for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, chicken broth, thyme leaves, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- While the soup simmers, preheat your oven's broiler. Place the French baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler until lightly golden on both sides.
- Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of toasted baguette and sprinkle a generous amount of grated Gruyere cheese over the bread.
- Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the bowls from the oven (remember, they will be hot!) and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the French Onion Soup hot and enjoy its comforting flavors!
