  • 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: In a large pot, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, salt, sugar, and pepper. Cook slowly until deeply golden and caramelized.
  2. Add Flavors: Stir in garlic, then pour in white wine (if using). Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer.

Notes

  • If you don’t have oven-safe bowls, toast bread separately with cheese and place it on top of the soup before serving.
  • Use Swiss cheese if Gruyère isn’t available.
