Time 52m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 large onions, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 teaspoons ground thyme
salt and pepper
1 (32 ounce) chicken broth or 1 (32 ounce) beef broth
1 (1 ounce) dried wild mushrooms, mixed
2 cups water
1/4-1/3 cup dry sherry (eyeball it)
4 thick slices crusty bread
1 large garlic clove, halved
1/2 lb gruyere cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In a heavy soup pot, melt the butter with the olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-heat. Stir in the onions, bay leaf and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are softened and browned, 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring the chicken broth, mushrooms and 2 cups water to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms and slice.
  • Preheat the broiler. Pour the sherry into the onions and cook over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the mushrooms and hot broth.
  • Toast the bread under the broiler, rub with the garlic and top with the cheese. Broil until melted. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with the toasts.

The soup was good, but it didn't live up to my expectations. I was hoping for a more flavorful broth.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices.

I found that the soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

This soup is a bit heavy for my taste, but it's still very good. I might try using a lighter broth next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover bread. I toasted some baguette slices and served them on the side for dipping.

I love that this recipe uses wild mushrooms. They add a unique and earthy flavor that you don't get from regular button mushrooms.

This soup is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth the effort. The slow-cooked onions and mushrooms create an incredibly flavorful broth.

I'm not usually a fan of mushroom soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The wild mushrooms added a depth of flavor that I've never experienced before.
