Monsieur Paul’s Soup Recipe

Monsieur Paul’s Soup is a classic French dish that is perfect for colder days. This hearty soup is made with a rich base of beef broth, caramelized onions, and topped with melted Gruyere cheese.

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 4 large onions thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1/4 cup white wine

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices French bread, toasted

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized.
2. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Pour in the beef broth, white wine, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

5. Ladle the soup into four oven-safe bowls and place a slice of bread with the cheese on top of each bowl. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
