Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 pounds yellow onions (about 8 medium), peeled, halved and thinly sliced
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, well rinsed and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
7 cups veal stock (see recipe)
3 sprigs thyme
3 sprigs parsley
1 bay leaf
4 teaspoons dry sherry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 slices toasted French bread
8 ounces grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • In a large heavy kettle, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, leeks and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft and deeply browned, about 1 hour. (Lower the heat if the onions begin to stick to the bottom of the pan or burn.)
  • Add the veal stock to the kettle. Wrap the thyme, parsley and bay leaf in a small square of cheesecloth and add the bundle to the kettle. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the sherry and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a slice of toasted bread in the bottom of 6 ovenproof soup bowls. Ladle 1 cup of soup over each. Sprinkle generously with cheese and bake until the cheese is deeply browned and bubbling, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and serve.
