Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large onions thinly sliced

  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped

  • Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to combine.

  • Stir in Gruyere cheese until melted and well combined.
  • Let the soup rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of beef and chicken broth. Ensure the onions are well caramelized to bring out their sweetness, which is essential for an authentic French onion taste. Using good quality Gruyere cheese will enhance the creamy texture and flavor of the soup. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the beef broth with vegetable broth and omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
