Time 1h15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 pounds yellow onions (about 6 medium), peeled and thinly sliced
5 cups beef broth, preferably homemade
1/2 cup apple juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Cognac
8 to 12 1/4-inch-thick slices French baguette, depending on the diameter of the loaf
1/4 pound Gruyere cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until caramelized and very soft, about 30 minutes. Place in a large saucepan. Add the broth, apple juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the Cognac. Taste, and add more salt, if needed.
  • Just before serving, preheat the broiler. Reheat the soup if necessary, and ladle into 4 large ovenproof bowls. Cover each with the bread, sprinkle with cheese and broil until melted and just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and serve immediately.
