Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 pounds Vidalia onions about 4 medium, quarted
  • 1 teaspoon REAL Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 TBS unbleached white flour
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups homemade beef broth or good quality store-bought beef broth

For the bread

  • 1/2 loaf French bread
  • garlic clove
  • 1 cup or more shredded Gruyere Cheese

Instructions

  • Add butter and quartered onions to the Bellini and chop on speed 1 for 15 seconds. Make sure the lid is secured on your machine or it won't turn on.
  • Turn the heat on to 100 C and cook for one hour on speed 1. Remove the measuring cap from the lid.
  • Next add the wine, beef broth, spices, and flour, and cook 45 more minutes at 100 C on speed 1.
  • While it's cooking, slice up a nice French bread, two pieces per bowl. Place in 400 degree oven and cook for 1 minute per side, until the bread is dry but not brown. Rub a garlic clove over one side of the bread and set aside.
  • Once the Bellini has finished cooking, ladle soup into oven-safe bowls and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Top the soup with bread and shredded Gruyere cheese.
  • Transfer baking sheet to oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, 4 to 8 minutes.
  • If you don't have oven safe bowls, you can put the bread on parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake in the oven, then top the soup with the bread.
  • Enjoy!
