Ingredients
Butter, salted, 2 tbsp (remove) Bay Leaf, 1 tsp, crumbled (remove) Thyme, fresh, 1 tsp (remove) Onions, raw, 1.50 large (remove) White Wine, 1 fl oz (remove) Pacific Natural Foods Beef Broth, 1 cup, 4 serving (remove) Gruyere Cheese, 3 oz (remove)La Brea Bakery Harvest Grain Loaf petite (1/4 loaf = 1 serving), 6 serving (remove)
Heat butter until melted over medium heat.
Slice onions into half-moons and drop them into the hot butter. Add salt to your own taste, thyme, and bay leaf and cover. After 10 minutes of cooking covered, remove cover so that water can evaporate and onions can start to brown.
Once onions are a nice, rich golden brown color, deglaze the pan with white wine (substitute here conac) and add beef broth. Bring to a simmer and simmer gently until ready to serve. Remember to remove bay leaf before serving.
After adding broth, top slices of bread with shredded gruyere cheese and broil under a top-heated broiler for 5 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is bubbly and browned.
In nice large bowls or crocks, ladle soup and float a cheese toast on top. Bon Appetite.
