Thanks for watching 🤍 Cher _______________________________ THE RECIPE Ingredients 6 large onions (yellow or white), thinly sliced 2 tbsp unsalted butter 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp sugar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp all-purpose flour 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional) 6 cups beef or vegetable stock 1-2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme) 1 bay leaf Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 baguette or crusty bread, sliced 1 1/2 cups grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese Instructions Prepare the onions: Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and stir to coat them in the butter and oil. Cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized. Add the sugar about 10 minutes into cooking to enhance caramelization. Add garlic and flour: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the onions, mix well, and cook for another 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Deglaze and simmer: Add white wine (if using) and stir to deglaze the pot, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Pour in the stock, add thyme and bay leaf, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20–30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Prepare the bread: Preheat your oven grill or broiler. Place baguette slices on a baking tray and toast both sides until golden. Sprinkle grated cheese generously on top of the bread and grill until melted and bubbly. Assemble and serve: Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Place the cheesy bread slices on top of the soup and, if desired, sprinkle extra cheese. Place the bowls under the grill for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve immediately and enjoy! _______________________________ YOU MAY ALSO ENJOY: EMBRACE THE NEW YEAR VLOG; the Slow Way    • Slow Living New Year Reset | Home Organisa...   WINTER WELLNESS VLOG    • Embrace Winter | Cosy Self-Care Ideas for ...   WINTER VLOGS    • Winter at the Apartment   CHRISTMAS VLOGS    • Christmas at the Apartment   AUTUMN VLOGS    • Autumn at the Apartment   _______________________________ MAKE CONTACT: INSTAGRAM -   / our_seasonal_stories   PINTEREST:   / our_seasonal_stories   EMAIL: [email protected] BUSINESS ENQUIRES: [email protected] _______________________________ RECOMMENDATIONS & MENTIONS: Some of the links below are affiliate links.
