Ingredients
  • 2 cups wood chips
  • Cooking spray
  • 6 cups thinly vertically sliced yellow onion
  • 15 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 3 (14-ounce) cans less-sodium beef broth
  • 12 (1/2-ounce) slices French bread baguette, toasted
  • 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Gruyère cheese

Directions
  1. Soak wood chips in water 30 minutes; drain.
  2. Prepare grill for indirect grilling, heating one side to low and leaving one side with no heat. Maintain temperature at 200° to 225°.
  3. Place wood chips on hot coals. Place a disposable aluminum foil pan on unheated side of grill. Pour 2 cups water in pan. Place grill rack on grill. Fold a 24 x 12-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil in half crosswise to form a 12-inch square. Fold edges of foil up to form a rim. Coat foil with cooking spray. Place foil tray on a baking sheet; arrange onion and garlic on foil tray. Carefully place foil tray on grill rack over foil pan on unheated side. Close lid; cook 1 hour and 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil tray from grill; place on baking sheet.
  4. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion mixture, thyme, tomato paste, and pepper; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add sherry and broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour.
  5. Preheat broiler.
  6. Ladle about 1 cup soup into each of 6 ovenproof soup bowls. Top each serving with 2 toast slices and 2 tablespoons cheese. Broil 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve immediately.

Soup is comfort food and this soup looks VERY comfortable....


This Smoked Onion And Garlic Soup is perfect for grilling season, the slow smoking process imparts that intense flavor you are looking for. The finishing touch with the broiled Gruyère cheese is reminiscent of the classic French Onion Soup we come to love.
