Ingredients
Directions
11 STEPS
1
In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat, then add onions, thyme, and bay leaf.
2
Stir and cook onions for about 20 minutes or until soft and tender.
3
Add dry red wine and stir, breaking up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid reduce to half the amount.
4
Sprinkle flour and stir to coat.
5
Pour in beef broth, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes.
6
Discard the bay leaf.
7
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, toss bread cubes with olive oil and minced garlic. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
8
Turn your oven to broil and prepare oven-safe bowls on a foil-lined baking sheet.
9
Ladle the soup into bowls, divide the garlic croutons among the bowls, and top each bowl with a slice of cheese.
10
Place the bowls carefully in the oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.
11
Use caution when serving, as the bowls will be hot. Enjoy!
