Cook time: 4 hours

Servings: 4


Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 lbs yellow onions

  • 4 tbsp butter (or vegan butter)

  • 3/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

  • 1 tbsp sweet Spanish pepper

  • 1 bay leaf, broken in half or crumbled

  • 1/3 cup flour

  • 6 cups beef bouillon/stock (or veggie stock)

  • 1/2 cup white wine (or chicken or more veggie stock)

  • 8 oz Gruyere or Swiss cheese (vegan cheeses or mozzarella)

To serve:

  • 1/2 French baguette (or gluten-free bread)

  • olive oil

  • parmesan cheese (or vegan parmesan)

  • chives, for garnish



Directions:

Prepare the soup:

  1. Slice the onions 1/8" thick. Melt the butter in a large pot and sauté the onions over low heat for 1 1/2-2 hours.

  2. Add seasoning: pepper, paprika and bay leaves. Mix well and sauté on low for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. Ass 2/3 of the broth to the pot and stir well. Add the flour to the remaining broth and mix thoroughly and then add to the pot, stirring in. Add wine and simmer 2 hours. Turn off and let it cool completely, covered.

To serve:

  1. Turn on oven to broil.

  2. Brush the bread slices with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Lightly brown bread using the broiler watching very carefully so not to burn.

  3. Heat the soup on the stove top.

  4. Layer the soup, then parmesan toasted bread, then cheese on top in oven-proof bowls.

  5. Broil until the cheese melts; for 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully!
