Beautifully Caramelized Onions
Caramelizing onions is an art, and the end result is simply divine. Here’s a glimpse of what your finished soup will look like:
Ingredients
- 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 loaf of crusty bread, sliced
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions.
- Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, which will take about 20-30 minutes.
- Once the onions are caramelized, add the vegetable broth and dry white wine, if using. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the fresh thyme, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 10 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown.
- To serve, ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with toasted bread and generous amounts of grated Gruyère cheese.
- Place the bowls under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
