This is one of my mom's quick and delicious soups. I made it tonight and it was just the thing for a cold evening! It's very easy and so tasty. It's a take on the French version, I suppose. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product, but suffice it to say it looks like broth with onions in it! When you add the bread and melt the cheese on top, it's irresistible! If you try it, let me know what you think.
2 large yellow onions, sliced thinly
32 ounces chicken broth
1 cup white wine, sauvignon blanc (not pinot gris)
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
gruyere cheese, grated for top
thick slices of pugliese or other dense bread, thickly sliced and toasted (one per bowl)
Melt butter with olive oil in stock pot. Add onions and saute over med-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes to caramelize. Onions should be soft and have a creamy texture. Add S&P to taste and mix. Add wine and broth Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile toast the pugliese slices. Grate some gruyere (I use about 1/4 cup per bowl)
Put some soup in a bowl, top with bread slice and some more broth. Top with grated gruyere cheese and put in microwave on high for about a minute to melt the cheese or under a broiler.
Sprinkle top with parmesan.
Makes about 4 servings.
