Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large onions, chopped very fine
6 tablespoons butter
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
Salt, freshly ground black pepper
Large croutons, fried in butter or oil
Grated Gruyère and grated Parmesan cheese, mixed
Garnish: chopped raw onion, chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Melt the butter on a skillet, add the chopped onions, cover tightly and steam over a very low flame until thoroughly puréed and soft. Add chicken broth, wine and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Season to taste.
  • Sprinkle the fried crouton with the grated cheeses and put under the broiler flame briefly to melt the cheese. Serve the soup in a large heated tureen. Put croutons in each soup plate or bowl and ladle soup over them. Pass bowls of raw onion and parsley for garnish.
