Clock

Wine Recommendation

Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay

Ingredients

  • 4 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp raw honey
  • 6 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 cup white wine, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp champagne vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 (32-oz) pkg low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 (14-oz) loaf French bread (preferably whole wheat), cut into ½-inch-thick slices
  • 1½ cups freshly grated Gruyère cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook onions and honey in melted butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat 10 minutes or until softened. Gradually add ¾ cup wine, ¼ cup at a time, and cook 15 to 20 minutes longer or until onions are deeply caramelized.
  2. Add garlic, ¼ cup wine, vinegar, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
  3. Stir in broth. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Stir in cream, and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange bread slices on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly toasted. Remove from oven, and set aside.
  5. Increase oven temperature to broil. Place 6 ovenproof bowls on a large rimmed baking sheet; divide soup among bowls. Top each bowl with bread slices; sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Broil 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is golden brown. Garnish with fresh thyme, if on hand.
