Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 large onions, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons ground thyme
salt and pepper
1 (32 ounce) chicken broth or 1 (32 ounce) beef broth
1 (1 ounce) dried wild mushrooms, mixed
2 cups water
1/4-1/3 cup dry sherry (eyeball it)
4 thick slices crusty bread
1 large garlic clove, halved
1/2 lb gruyere cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In a heavy soup pot, melt the butter with the olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-heat. Stir in the onions, bay leaf and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are softened and browned, 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth, mushrooms and 2 cups water to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms and slice.
  • Preheat the broiler. Pour the sherry into the onions and cook over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the mushrooms and hot broth.
  • Toast the bread under the broiler, rub with the garlic and top with the cheese. Broil until melted. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with the toasts.
