  • Yield Makes 8 cups

Ingredients

    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 4 medium onions
    • 3 tablespoons Cognac
    • 1/2 cup white wine
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 7 cups low-sodium beef stock
    • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
    • Salt and pepper
    • 4 ounces thinly sliced Gruyere
    • 8 slices of whole-grain rustic bread

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and very soft, about 45 minutes.
  2. Deglaze pan with Cognac and wine, scraping up bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon.
  3. Sprinkle flour over onions; stir. Add beef stock and thyme leaves and bring to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until heated through, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Preheat broiler. Arrange Gruyere on bread and broil until cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with soup.
