THE BEST FRENCH ONION SOUP
This bistro classic is deceptively easy to make. It just takes a little time and a few good ingredients. We found that yellow onions, also known as Spanish onions, work best for this recipe. They have a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness and caramelize perfectly. Just don't take them too dark -- a nice golden brown is perfect. Good beef broth also makes a big difference. If you can't make your own, look for a high-quality prepared variety.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a very large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onions, bay leaves, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and light golden-brown, about 1 hour. (The onions will begin to stick to the bottom of the pan and turn brown after about 30 minutes; just keep scraping them up and stirring them into the rest of the onions. If they are browning to quickly, lower the heat.)
- Add the wine to the pot, bring to a simmer and cook until it has almost completely evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add the beef broth and 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer and cook until the flavors come together and the soup is rich, about 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Keep the soup warm on a low burner or cool completely and refrigerate to reheat later. (The soup can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.)
- Preheat the broiler. Place four soup crocks on a rimmed baking sheet and fill them about 3/4 of the way with hot soup. Float a slice of baguette on top of each and cover with 1/2 cup Gruyere. Broil until the Gruyere is golden brown (don't be alarmed if some soup bubbles out), 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Melt the stick of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Dust the onions with the flour and give them a stir. Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Now add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- When you're ready to eat, preheat the broiler. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the slices with the Gruyere and broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup in bowls and float several of the Gruyere croutons on top.
- Alternative method: Ladle the soup into bowls, top each with 2 slices of bread and top with cheese. Put the bowls into the oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese.

TRUFFLE-INFUSED FRENCH ONION SOUP
Came across this in an older issue of F & W and to put it here for safe keeping. Created by Chef Michael Mina in his early days of Aqua a San Francisco restaurant. The combination of tuffled pecorino cheese and camelized onions creates a mix of earthiness and sweetness. The truffle-insfused percorino cheese should be available in any good cheese shop.

Steps:
- Put butter in a large pot.
- add the onions and sauté till translucent.
- Add two tablespoons instant blending flour and stir well.
- Add 4 cans of beef bouillion, and 3 cans of water.
- Add 1-2 tsp black pepper.
- Simmer, without letting boil, (I usually make in the morning and let simmer most of the day).
- Taste test for strength of broth, you want it beefy-- add more bouillon if needed, and pepper if not peppery enough.
- Fill french onion soup bowls with the soup.
- Top with a Rusk, then grated mozzarella and parmesan.
- Bake in hot oven 400 degrees till cheese is golden and bubbly.
- You can brown up the cheese with the broiler if needed.
- This makes quite a bit, but it stores in the fridge and can be re heated.
- It will look yucky when you go to reheat as the butter comes to top and hardens-- but once heated is fine.
- Enjoy!
