Slowly caramelised onions, deep stock and cheesy toasted bread give this French classic all its comforting depth.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 40 min

Ingredients

Onions – 750 g
Butter – 40 g
Olive oil – 1 tbsp
Flour – 1 tbsp
Dry white wine – 100 ml
Vegetable stock – 1.2 l
Thyme – 2 sprigs
Baguette – 8 slices
Gruyère or Emmental – 120 g
Salt and black pepper – to taste

Method

1. Slice the onions thinly and cook them gently in butter and olive oil until very soft and deeply golden. Take your time here, because this is where the soup gets its sweetness.
2. Stir in the flour, then add the wine, stock and thyme. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes and season well.
3. Toast the baguette slices and top them with the cheese.
4. Ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls, float the cheesy toasts on top and grill until bubbling and browned.
