French Onion Soup with Parsley and Thyme
Ingredients -
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 loaf French bread
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup melted butter
½ lb gruyere cheese, sliced
6 yellow onions, finely sliced
2 quarts beef broth
Preparation:
Sauté the onions in the butter until they are soft in a 6 quart soup pot over a medium high heat.
When all the steam is gone, the onions will begin to caramelize, so turn the heat down to low and keep stirring them often, until they are dark brown.
Add the parsley, bay leaf, thyme, and broth. Simmer the soup for 45 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the bread into rounds, which just fit inside your soup bowls, then toast them.
Divide the French onion soup between 6 soup bowls and put a slice of toasted bread and some cheese on top of each one.
Broil until the cheese is golden brown.
(Serves 6)
