This is comfort at its best. You just can't do better than French Onion Soup...with homemade beef stock, caramelized onions, and Gruyere cheese...oh yes.

Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 stick
- 8 medium yellow onions sliced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 8 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon thyme chopped, plus a little extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 6 lices bread i.e., from a baguette, toasted
- 2 cups gruyere cheese shredded or sliced
Instructions
- Melt butter in large pot (Dutch oven works very well) over medium heat.
- Add the onions.
- Stir frequently (about every 10 to 15 minutes) for about 1 hour until the onions turn a dark brown color.
- Add the wine and scrape (deglaze) the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Bring to a strong simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add stock, thyme, and salt. Bring to a simmer for 15 minutes. Taste, and add more salt, if necessary.
- Turn on the broiler. Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Add a toasted piece of bread on top of the soup, and then place a handful of grated Gruyere cheese over the top.
- Place under broiler and cook for about a few minutes, until cheese is golden on top (keep an eye on it, don't let it burn!).
- Remove from oven and garnish with chopped thyme. Serve at once.

- Don't skip caramelizing the onions. It's critical to the classic taste. The homemade beef stock really puts the soup over the top, but good-quality purchased beef stock will still yield a delicious soup. You could add 1 tablespoon of purchased beef demi-glace for a deeply flavorful soup.
- The homemade beef stock can be made weeks in advance. It freezes beautifully.
- Leftover over soup will keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. It freezes nicely for up to 2 months.
