Directions: |
Directions:Heat olive oil & butter in a dutch oven pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until caramelized & tender - about 45 minutes. Stir frequently. As soon as the onions are caramelized add the minced garlic & stir for about 30-45 seconds.
Add the broth, bay leaf, thyme and salt & pepper to the onions, simmer over medium low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Taste & re-season if needed. I was going to add a half a cup of white wine but once I tasted the soup I decided I liked it the way it was. It was full of flavor and perfect.
Divide the soup among 4 ovenproof bowls. Arrange toasted baguette slices on top of soup and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place bowls on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil and place under a pre-heated broiler; cook until cheese melts and forms a crust over the tops of the bowls. Serve immediately. Enjoy. |
