Ingredients
- 2 pound yellow onions , halved and thinly sliced
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups quality chicken stock , vegetarians: use vegetable stock
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 1- inch slices baguette bread
- 1 cup shredded aged Havarti or other aged flavorful cheese flavorful cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat and add the onions and sugar. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover, increase the heat to medium and cook until lightly browned, another 20-25 minutes.Add the flour and stir until incorporated. Add the white wine and bring to a rapid boil for a minute. Add the chicken stock and salt, return to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. Add the cream and thyme and cook for a few more minutes to heat through.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the baguette slices on a lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for a few minutes, just until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the baguette are lightly browned. Ladle the hot soup into bowls, place a cheese-baked baguette in each bowl and serve immediately sprinkled with a little fresh chopped parsley. Alternatively, place the unbaked baguette slices in oven-proof bowls, sprinkle with cheese, and bake. Carefully remove the hot bowls from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not rush the caramelizing process of the onions, it is critical for the final flavor of the soup.
