Cuisine French
- 2 oz butter
- 2 tbsp thyme leaves
- 2 lbs brown onions thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Dry Sherry
- 40.6 oz water or beef or chicken stock, fresh, cube or concentrate
- 1 baguette sliced
- 1 garlic clove halved
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
- 10 oz Swiss Cheese grated
Heat the butter with 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and gently cook the onion and thyme until the onion is softened but not too browned – about 20 minutes.
Increase the heat slightly and cook for 15 minutes, until the onion becomes dark golden, sticky and caramelized, stirring now and again to stop it from catching.
Add the sherry and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add the stock and bring to a boil.
Season.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the bread, rub each slice with garlic, then drizzle with a little oil.
Sprinkle with the cheese and grill until golden and bubbling.
Serve the soup with the cheese croutons on top.
