Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 75 minutes

Total: 90 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

4 large onions, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices of baguette
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until golden brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the red wine and cook for 5 minutes, until reduced by half.
Add the beef broth, sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until toasted on both sides.
Ladle the soup into four oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of baguette and sprinkle with the grated Gruyere cheese.
Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy!
