Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Oven-safe bowls
  • Baking sheet for toasting bread
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients

  • 4 large onions thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups beef stock
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 1 baguette sliced
  • 1.5 cups grated Gruyère cheese
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown, stirring often. This takes about 20-30 minutes.
  • Stir in minced garlic and cook for one minute. Pour in the white wine next, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift any flavorful bits stuck there. Let the liquid reduce slightly before moving on.
  • Add beef stock, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring everything to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning carefully—it should balance savory and sweet notes.
  • Preheat your oven’s broiler. Slice the baguette into thick pieces and lightly toast them. Ladle hot soup into oven-safe bowls, top each with a slice of toasted bread, and sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese. Place under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns bubbly.
