A deeply rich, slow-cooked onion broth crowned with toasted baguette and bubbling Gruyère. Worth every minute.

Ingredients

4
  • 1 kg yellow onions
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 200 ml dry white wine
  • 1 litre good beef stock
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 4 slices baguette
  • 150 g Gruyère

Steps

  1. 1

    Melt butter and oil in a large heavy pot. Add onions and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 45–60 minutes until deeply golden.

  2. 2

    Deglaze with white wine, scraping up any brown bits. Cook until almost evaporated.

  3. 3

    Add stock and thyme. Simmer 15 minutes. Season.

  4. 4

    Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Top with toasted baguette and a thick layer of Gruyère.

  5. 5

    Grill under a hot broiler until cheese is bubbling and golden. Serve immediately.
