Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 pounds (2 or 3 large) yellow onions, sliced ¼" thick

1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

¾ cup dry red wine

3 ½ cups Homemade Beef or Veal Stock

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 small baguette, sliced into ½-inch pieces

1 ½ cups grated regular Gruyère

1 ½ cups grated smoked Gruyère

Directions

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven on medium - medium-low heat.

Add onions, spreading them out in as thin a layer as possible.

Sprinkle with sugar, and cook, stirring just as needed to keep onions from sticking, until they are soft, golden brown, and just starting to caramelize - about 1 hour.

Sprinkle flour over onions, and stir to coat.

Cook flour for about 5 minutes. Add wine, stock, and thyme, and bring to a simmer.

Cook, partially covered, for about 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to combine.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Meanwhile, lightly toast at least 8 slices of bread under a broiler or in the toaster and set aside.

Ladle hot soup into four ovenproof bowls and arrange on a sturdy baking sheet.

Place 2 -3 slices (depending on size) of toasted bread over each bowl of soup.

Mix together the two grated cheeses and sprinkle ¾ cup over bread in each bowl.

Place soup bowls under the broiler until cheese is melted and crusty brown around the edges.

Watch carefully that bread doesn’t burn.

Serve immediately.

I find this soup to be both rustic and elegant...easy to make and delicious to indulge in.
