Інгредієнти

2 pounds yellow onions (sliced thin)

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 tbsp flour (or gluten-free flour)

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1 ounce dry sherry

1 ounce Cognac or brandy

2 ounces white wine

Напрямки

In a Dutch oven, or large pot, sauté the onions with the butter over medium heat, until the onions are soft and golden, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring often. Add a few drops of water if they get too dry. You want them caramelized but not browned.

Add flour, mixing well another 2-3 minutes.

Add thyme, bay leaf, sherry, wine and brandy, and simmer uncovered for 10 more minutes.

Add the beef broth, salt & pepper to taste, reduce heat.

Cover and simmer gently for about 20 minutes.

Remove bay leaf and ladle 1-1/2 cups soup into 6 oven-proof bowls.

Place bowls on a baking sheet.

Place sliced toasted bread rounds into each bowl and top bread with cheese.

Broil 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese melts.
