- 6 tablespoons butter
- 4 large sweet Vidalia onion, sliced thin
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 thyme sprigs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 quarts beef broth (low sodium)
- 6 slices Gruyere cheese
- 6 slices French bread
- parsley, optional
Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme and salt and pepper. Cook down onions, stirring occasionally until soft and caramelized (about 30-40 minutes). Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
Sprinkle the onions with flour and cook another 10 minutes to cook the flour.
Add the beef broth and simmer for 10 minutes.
Place oven proof bowls on a large baking sheet and ladle the soup into the bowls. Top each with a slice of bread and cheese. Broil for 2-4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve.
