Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 extra large onions, (8 cups sliced onions), sliced thinly into crescent shapes
1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, (21 grams)
1 tbsp oil, (14 grams)
1/2 tsp salt, (2.8 grams)
1/8 tsp sugar, (
1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour, (~10 grams)
4 cups low-sodium beef broth, (907 grams)
ground pepper and salt to taste
crusty French bread, sliced
4 oz gruyere cheese for the top, or gruyere-cheddar mix

Steps:

  • Melt butter with oil over low heat in a dutch oven or large pot. Add the onion slices into the pot and cover for 15 minutes.
  • Slice your bread into 1/2 inch slices and toast them. Temporarily set aside.
  • Raise the stove heat slightly and stir in 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of sugar. Cook, uncovered, for another 40 to 45 minutes until onions have caramelized, stirring occasionally throughout the duration. Note: Do not rush this step as it is essential for developing the onion flavor.
  • Sprinkle (1 1/2 tbsp) flour into the pot, stir, and cook for another 3 minutes. Slowly stream the broth into the pot, stirring as your pour. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, to your taste. Just don't make the soup too salty if you're using a salty cheese like gruyere. Cook for another 20 minutes until simmering and hot. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Once the soup is ready, divide the soup among 4 oven-safe bowls. Place 4 or 5 baguette slices into each bowl. Then top each bowl with grated cheese (about 1/4 cup of grated cheese per bowl). Bake until cheese completely melts.
