Ingredients:
  • 5 med. onions
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1½ tbsp. flour
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ½ tsp. sugar
  • ½ c. dry cooking sherry
  • 6 c. beef stock
  • 1 baguette
  • swiss or gruyere cheese
Directions:
  1. Thinly slice onions and saute in olive oil & butter until clear. Add salt, pepper, & sugar - carmelize onions (takes quite a while with how many onions there are - you want it to look delicious and golden, not burnt and brown, so take it slow).
  2. Add thyme & flour and cook for a few minutes. Add a bay leaf & cooking sherry to deglaze the pan. Cook for 7-9 minutes.
  3. Add beef stock and bring to a boil. Simmer until ready to eat.
  4. Cut 12 slices of baguette, ½" thick, and butter on one side. Toast in oven under broiler.
  5. Cut into chunks (usually quarters, depending on the size of the baguette).
  6. Ladle soup into oven-proof bowls, add toasted bread & swiss cheese and broil until melted and brown.
