Ingredients
4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 slices of baguette, toasted
1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
1 bay leaf
2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.
2. Add the sliced onions to the pot and stir to coat them in the oil and butter.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook the onions for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown.
4. Add the garlic and thyme to the onions and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, allowing it to deglaze the pot and mix with the onions.
6. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, cooking for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
7. Add the chicken broth and bay leaf to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to broil. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls and place a toasted baguette slice on top of each.
9. Sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese and broil for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Serve hot and enjoy.
