Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
- 4 pieces Crusty bread slices
- 1 cup Grated Gruyère cheese
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them thinly into half-moons.
In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook, stirring often, for 25-30 minutes until they are golden and caramelized. Be careful not to burn them; reduce the heat if necessary.
While the onions are caramelizing, mince the garlic cloves.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and dried thyme, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while stirring to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot, and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If using heavy cream, stir it into the soup at this point for extra richness.
Preheat your oven's broiler and place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Toast them lightly on both sides under the broiler.
Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Float a slice of toasted bread on top of each serving, and generously sprinkle grated Gruyère cheese over the bread.
Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Carefully remove the bowls from the oven, and let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your warm, comforting kremithosoupa onion soup!
