Time 2h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
15 cups yellow onions, sliced (about 4 pounds)
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 apple, peeled, quartered, cut into julienne strips (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady)
3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup madeira wine or 1/2 cup dry sherry
6 cups lower-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
10 slices sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups gruyere cheese, grated
thyme leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking 50 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Add pepper, apple, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves; cook 3 minutes or until apples soften. Add wine; cook 2 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
  • Add broth and cider; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Discard bay leaves; stir in vinegar.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan; broil 2 minutes or until toasted, turning after 1 minute.
  • Preheat oven to 500°.
  • Ladle 1 cup soup into each of 10 ovenproof soup bowls. Divide the croutons evenly among bowls, and top each serving with about 3 tablespoons cheese. Place bowls on jelly-roll pan. Bake at 500° for 8 minutes or until cheese melts. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
