Servings: persons

3 Tablespoons Butter
1-1/2 pound Sweet Yellow Onion
5 sprigs Thyme
2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
2 Bay Leaves
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 teaspoon Flour
1/2 cups Red Wine
1/4 cups Brandy
4 cups Beef Stock
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
8 Crostinis, Or Equivalent Amount Of Croutons
1-1/2 cup Gruyere Cheese

1
First, heat butter in a large saute pan. Once melted and bubbly, add onion, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Let caramelize over medium-low to medium heat for about 1 hour until onions turn a deep amber color. The thyme leaves will break off, giving an earthy flavor to the soup. Once onions are finished, remove the thyme stems.
2
Transfer onions to a large stock pan. Add mustard and mix until dissolved. Then add flour, stirring to combine. Next, add red wine and brandy, and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until onions have absorbed the liquid.
3
Add beef stock and Worcestershire, turn heat down to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Turn the broiler on in the oven. Ladle soup into oven-safe soup bowls. Place 2 crostinis (or several croutons) atop the soup. Top with grated Gruyere cheese. Place underneath the broiler until cheese turns golden-brown, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from the oven. Let cool. And with that, you're ready to dig in (the easiest part). Enjoy!
