Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground thyme
• Salt and pepper
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 (1 ounce) package mixed dried mushrooms
• 1/3 cup dry sherry
• 4 thick slices crusty bread
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. Place butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven and set over medium heat. When butter melts, add onions, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 20 minutes to brown.
2. Meanwhile: combine chicken broth, mushrooms, and water in a different saucepan. Set over high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, turn heat down to low and cook for 15 minutes, then turn the heat off. Reserving the broth, remove mushrooms and chop.
3. Preheat broiler to High.
4. Add the sherry to the Dutch oven with the onions. Cook for 1 minute, then add chopped mushrooms and the reserved broth from the saucepan. Heat through.
5. Place toast on a broiler pan and set under the flame to toast, flipping once to lightly brown both sides. Then top with minced garlic and shredded cheese and return to the broiler; cook for 1 to 3 more minutes, until cheese melts.
6. Pour onion soup into individual serving bowls and top with the cheese toasts. Serve.
