Categories     Onions

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 large onions, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 fresh bay leaves or 1 dried bay leaf
1/2 cup white wine
6 cups beef stock
1/2 loaf crusty bread, torn into bite-size pieces and toasted
1 lb deli-style roast beef, shredded
swiss cheese (optional) or gruyere cheese, grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a deep pot over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Add EVOO, about one turn of the pan, and butter to the pot.
  • Add the onions to the pot as you slice them and the chopped garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add thyme sprigs and a bay leaf.
  • Cook the onions for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender, sweet and deep caramel-colored. If the onions are burning in spots before browning all over, add a splash of water and stir every now and then, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the onions are tender and brown, add the white wine and scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the beef stock and cover the pot to bring the soup up to a quick boil.
  • Place a few chunks of the toasted bread into each of four deep soup bowls or crocks and top the toast with a handful of the shredded roast beef.
  • Once the soup reaches a boil, remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs and ladle into bowls to cover the roast beef.
  • If you like, top it off with a handful of cheese and enjoy!
