Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 Large Yellow Onions Thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 1/4 cups Dry White Wine
  • 1/4 cup Sherry Wine
  • Thyme
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 6 cups Beef Broth
  • 10 slices Gruyere Cheese
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • Salt and Pepper
  • French Bread sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium high heat, add butter and olive oil
  • Add in onions and caramelize for about 30 minutes until dark brown. This process will take a while so be patient!
  • Once the onions are caramelized, pour in white wine and sherry to "deglaze" the pan
  • Reduce the liquid by 2/3
  • Once the wine is reduced, pour in beef broth
  • Add in thyme, bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper to taste
  • Cover the pot and let simmer for 30 minutes
  • TASTE IT!
  • Preheat oven broiler
  • Lay out french bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil
  • Toast the bread in the oven for about 5 minutes until golden brown and set aside
  • In an oven save bowl (I used mini enamel pots), fill with soup about 3/4 of the way up
  • Top with 2 or 3 baguette slices and cover with 2 slices of Gruyere cheese
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of freshly grated parmesan cheese on to of that
  • Place on a baking sheet just in case the soup bubbles over.
  • Place in broiler and melt the cheese until golden and bubbly (Watch it closely!)
  • Let cool for a few minutes then dig in!
