Name: French onion soup (vegetarian)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 55 min
Total time: 70 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Ingredients: 800 g yellow onions, thinly sliced; 1000 ml vegetable broth; 120 ml dry white wine (or extra broth); 30 g butter; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp all-purpose flour; 1 tsp fresh thyme; 2 leaf bay leaves; 4 slices baguette slices; 100 g gruyere cheese, grated; 1 to taste salt and pepper

Heat butter + olive oil in a heavy pot. Add sliced onions, cook over medium-low heat 35-40 min, stirring often, until deep amber. Patience is the recipe.

Sprinkle in flour, stir 1 min. Pour in wine, scrape up the brown bits at the bottom.

Add broth, thyme, bay leaves. Simmer 20 min.

Discard bay. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls.

Float baguette slices on top, mound with grated gruyere.

Broil 3-5 min until cheese is bubbly and starting to char at the edges. Eat carefully — it's lava-hot.
