INGREDIENTS

  • Core

    • 🧈 3 tablespoons butter
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧅 6 white onions, sliced into thin rings
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt
    • 🧂 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
    • ⅓ cup port wine
    • 1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock
    • 🍞 5 slices French bread
    • 5 slices Swiss cheese
    • ¼ cup shredded Parmagiano-Reggiano cheese

STEPS

1

Melt butter with olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic; season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook onion mixture in hot butter-oil until caramelized, stirring every 10 minutes to keep from browning too quickly, about 1 hour.

2

Stir brown sugar and thyme into caramelized onions; allow sugar to melt into onions, about 2 minutes. Pour in wine and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; continue simmering for 5 more minutes. Pour in beef stock; cook for 10 more minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper.

3

Preheat the oven's broiler to high. Place 5 oven-safe crocks onto a baking sheet.

4

Ladle soup evenly into the crocks. Top each with a French bread slice; cover with a Swiss cheese slice and sprinkle with Parmagiano-Reggiano cheese.

5

Cook soups under the preheated broiler until cheese is melted and browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
