    This soup was my favorite as a kid and still is today. The rich onion broth is delicious and who doesn't love anything topped with melted cheese and crusty bread. It takes a couple hours to make, but most of the time the soup & onions are doing their own thing, you can be elsewhere. Hope you enjoy it!

    Ingredients

    • 3 – 4 Onions sliced
    • 2 – 3 cloves of garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon of thyme
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 48 ounces beef stock
    • 1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese
    • French baguette
    • Olive Oil
    • 1/3 cup of Cognac

    Directions

    1. Caramelize the onions in a soup pan with olive oil until they are a deep golden brown
    2. Add the minced garlic until it softens
    3. Deglaze the pan with the Cognac and let it reduce by half
    4. Add the beef stock, thyme & bay leaf and bring to a simmer
    5. Let it simmer for 45 minutes to an hour
    6. Taste and season with salt and pepper
    7. Toast 2 slices (1/2 thick) per serving of the baguette in a 250 degree oven until they are crispy
    8. Remove the bread and turn the oven up to 375
    9. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and top with two slices of bread and the cheese
    10. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown
