Scale

3 lbs Yellow Onions
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Instructions

Peel and thinly slice the onions from root to stem
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-low heat, add the onions and a pinch of salt, and cook for 45 to 60 minutes until they reach a deep jam-like consistency
Pour in the sherry or white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits
Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper
Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick rounds and toast in a 350°F oven until dry and slightly golde
Ladle the soup into oven-safe crocks, place a toasted bread slice on top of each, cover with Gruyère cheese, and broil for 3-5 minutes until bubbling

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

Let the soup sit for two minutes after broiling to allow the cheese to set.
