Onion cheese soup
·
6
large red or yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced.
·
1/2 cup of white wine
·
1/4 teaspoon of dry thyme
·
Salt and pepper
·
8 slices of toasted French bread
·
cheese
In a large
saucepan, sauté the onions in the olive oil on medium high heat until well
browned, but not burned, about 30-40 minutes (or longer). Add the sugar about
10 minutes into the process to help with the carmelization.
Add the stock, vermouth or wine, bay leaf, and thyme. Cover partially and
simmer until the flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.
To serve you can either use individual oven-proof soup bowls or one
large casserole dish. Ladle the soup into the bowls or casserole dish. Cover
with the toast and sprinkle with cheese. Put into the broiler for 10 minutes at
350 degrees F, or until the cheese bubbles and is slightly browned. Serve immediately
