Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 1 hourServes: 6
Ingredients
6 cups thinly sliced onions
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
8 cups beef broth
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
1 baguette, sliced
2 cups Gruyere cheese, grated
Instructions
1. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they are soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes.
2. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pot and cook for another 10 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
3. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add the beef broth and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until they are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
6. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top each with a toasted baguette slice, and sprinkle generously with Gruyere cheese.
7. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
