Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups beef broth low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon dry thyme
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 4 slices baguette toasted
  • 1.5 cups Gruyère cheese shredded

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.
  • Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in dry thyme, black pepper, and beef broth; bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven broiler. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, place toasted baguette slices on top, and cover with shredded Gruyère cheese.
  • Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

For best flavor, use homemade beef broth and a good quality Gruyère cheese. Enjoy with a side salad or crusty bread.
