Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry. Discard the bay leaf bundle. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn down the heat to low so the flour doesn’t burn, and cook for ten minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer and cook ten minutes more. Season to taste
