Ingredients
  

  • 3 large onions yellow are best
  • 1 stick butter
  • 32 oz beef broth
  • 16 oz chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 2 tbsp beef broth base
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp red wine optional for deglazing pot

Instructions
 

  • Melt 1 stick of butter in a large pot.
  • Thinly slice 3-4 large onions and place in the pot.
  • Cook the onions on medium heat until they are golden brown stirring occasionally. This could take up to 45 minutes.
  • Once onions are fully caramelized, deglaze pot with red wine. (optional). I just put a splash in and stir well until nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Pour in beef broth and chicken broth.
  • Add in beef base, garlic salt and thyme.
  • Add in flour and stir allowing soup to thicken a bit.
  • Turn on the broiler.
  • Ladle soup into sourdough bread bowls or oven safe bowls and place on a baking sheet.
  • Cover with cheese of your choice, provolone is our favorite.
  • Allow to broil in oven for 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Enjoy!
