Ingredients
- 2 ounces pancetta chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups thinly sliced onions
- 2 heads Belgian endive halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ cup red wine
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 ½ cups canned low-fat beef broth
- 4 large baguette slices preferably whole wheat
- ¼ cup packed grated white cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add the chopped pancetta. Cook until golden brown. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Discard all but 1 teaspoon of the pancetta, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and set the saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add onions and endive and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and light golden brown.
- Reduce heat to medium heat and cook until the onions and endive are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Add the wine and balsamic vinegar and stir until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Add the beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes. Stir in the cooked pancetta.
- Place the baguette slices on a cookie sheet and toast in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls and top each with 1 baguette slices and 1 tablespoon cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbling and slightly brown. Serve.
