Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, halved, peeled, and cut into ¼-inch slices
• Salt and pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 3 cups chicken bone broth
• ¼ cup dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 ounces of Gruyère cheese, grated
• 4 ½-inch slices of french baguette

Preparation

Make Soup:

1. Melt butter in a medium-sized Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, stir, and then cover for 5 minutes.
2. Remove the lid and reduce temperature to medium-low. Let onions caramelize until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
3. While onions are caramelizing, warm broth in a separate medium-sized saucepan.
4. Once onions are caramelized, add garlic and thyme, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add wine and sherry to the caramelized onion mixture and allow it to come to a boil. Stir in flour, then turn heat off.
6. Slowly add warmed broth to the caramelized onion mixture. Turn heat back on to medium-high, bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-7 minutes. Turn off heat. Salt and pepper, to taste.

Assemble and Broil the Soup:

1. Heat the broiler. Arrange individual ovenproof soup bowls on a baking sheet and ladle soup into bowls, filling them up.
2. Cover the top of each bowl with bread slices, then generously sprinkle each with Gruyère cheese.
3. Broil for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese melts and browns. Serve immediately.

Notes

Be sure to remember that the soup bowls will be hot. I suggest using oven mitts to place them on a plate to make moving them to the table easier.
