Author: A Mom's Take
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:
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).
Add thyme & flour and cook for a few minutes. Add a bay leaf & cooking sherry to deglaze the pan. Cook for 7-9 minutes.
Add beef stock and bring to a boil. Simmer until ready to eat.
Cut 12 slices of baguette, ½" thick, and butter on one side. Toast in oven under broiler.
Cut into chunks (usually quarters, depending on the size of the baguette).
Ladle soup into oven-proof bowls, add toasted bread & swiss cheese and broil until melted and brown.
