- 4 large onions thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 6 cups beef broth low sodium
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 4 slices French bread toasted
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese grated
Instructions
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sugar, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized, about 30 minutes.
- Add the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven's broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, place a slice of toasted French bread on top of each bowl, and sprinkle generously with grated gruyere cheese.
- Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes. Serve hot.
