Instructions
Melt the butter with the oil in a large pot. Add the sliced onions and cook over low heat, stirring often until they are well browned and caramelized (about 25 minutes).
💡 Tip: Stir regularly to prevent the onions from burning and add a little water if necessary.
About 25 min
Sprinkle the flour over the onions, mix well, and let cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine, let reduce for 2 minutes, then add the broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
💡 Tip: Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end of cooking.
About 22 min
Preheat the oven to broil. Divide the soup into oven-safe bowls. Place a slice of bread on each bowl, then generously sprinkle with grated Gruyère cheese.
💡 Tip: Use bowls suitable for broiling in the oven without risk.
About 5 min
Broil in the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Serve immediately.
