Ingredients

3 tbsp butter

3 tbsp olive oil

6 white onions, thinly sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 pinch of salt

1.5 tsp ground black pepper

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp dried thyme

80 ml port wine

1 liter beef stock

5 slices of French bread

5 slices of Swiss cheese

60 g shredded Parmagiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add onions and garlic, season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes until caramelized.

Step 2

Stir in brown sugar and thyme, allowing the sugar to melt into the onions. Pour in port wine and simmer for 5 minutes. Add beef stock and cook for 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Preheat the oven's broiler. Place 5 oven-safe crocks on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Ladle the soup into the crocks. Top each with a slice of French bread, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmagiano-Reggiano cheese.

Step 5

Broil the soups until the cheese is melted and browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
