Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Serves 3 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 3 cups bone broth
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • Few sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Sourdough bread roughly cut to fit in your bowl + toasted
  • Grated cheese for topping: gruyère, comté, or a similar melty cheese
  • Garnish: extra fresh thyme

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, melt down the butter with the olive oil. Add the sliced onions, along with some salt, and sauté on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Optional: add in some minced garlic when the onions are almost done caramelizing.
  • Deglaze with the white wine, stirring to scrape up all the browned bits.
  • Add the bone broth, miso paste, a few sprigs of fresh thyme, and a bay leaf. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the herbs and then ladle the soup into oven safe bowls or crocks.
  • Toast up some sourdough, then brush lightly with olive oil. Top each bowl with a piece of the toasted bread and plenty of grated cheese.
  • Place the soups under the broiler until golden and bubbly. Garnish with some extra fresh thyme!
