     French Onion Soup

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   4-6
Preptime   15

Ingredients
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
4 Onions (sliced)
2 Garlic Cloves (chopped)
2 Bay Leaves
2 Fresh Thyme Sprigs
Kosher Salt and freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 Cup Red Wine (about half a bottle)
3 Heaping Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
2 Quarts Beef Broth
 
1 Baguette (sliced)
1/2 Pound Grated Gruyere

Instructions
Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to the medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, and bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
When you're ready to eat, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the slices with gruyere and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Ladle the soup in bowls and float several of the Gruyere croutons on top.
