Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tablespoon salted butter
  • 4 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 1.25 cup dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
  • 3 clove garlic minced or grated
  • 2 cup cremini or wild mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 6-8 cup low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 6 slice french bread
  • 2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese

Instructions
 

  • Melt together the butter, onions, and honey in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes. Add ¾ cup of the wine, ¼ cup at a time, until the wine cooks into the onions. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized.
  • Add the garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ½ cup wine, the broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and return the soup to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the cream and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and discard. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes until very dry. Switch the oven to broil.
  • Ladle the soup into oven safe bowls. Add a slice of bread to each, and top evenly with cheese. Place each soup bowl on a baking sheet and broil until bubbly and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Top with fresh thyme before serving.
