ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 medium sweet onions, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
- 2 medium red onions, cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 2 medium yellow onions, cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 3⁄4 cups beef stock, unsalted
- 3 1⁄2 cups chicken stock, unsalted
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- salt and pepper
- 8 slices baguette, cut 1/2 inch thick and toasted
- 1 1⁄2 cups gouda cheese, coarsely grated
directions
- In a large soup pot, melt butter oven medium-low heat.
- Add all the onions along with 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Saute until onions turn a nice golden brown or caramelize, about 25 minutes.
- Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from sticking to the pan.
- When onions are brown, add the flour and stir until it disappears.
- Turn heat to medium-high and add both stocks and the thyme.
- Bring to a boil, lower the heat to low, cover and cook until soup is slightly thickened and is a medium-brown in color.
- This should take about 1-hour, taste and adjust seasonings as necessary for personal taste.
- Preheat the broiler and ladle soup into broiler-proof bowls.
- Place 1 slice of toast in each bowl and top with the cheese.
- Heat under the broiler about 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbling.
- Serve immediately.

Absolutely fantastic flavors in this onion soup. It was suprisingly sweet. I had to modify the cooking method as I don't have broiler proof soup bowls so I toasted my bread than baked it in my mini oven with slices of Provolone Cheese as I could not find Gouda in Dardanelle AR then transfered that right into the soup. The end result was fantastic and I thank you so much for posting. A recipe I'll make again. Made for the Diabetic Forum tag game for September 2011.

I was so happy to see that you had an onion soup in your recipes cause I wanted to cook one. And we were very pleased with the result. So much flavor. I used dry thyme (1 tsp). And instead of gouda, I used emmenthal. So yummy. Thanks Paula :) Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap October 2010 Group Aussie Rum Balls

WOW, this was GREAT! I copied teh recipe to my shopping list and went to the store. It took me thre stores to realize that the needed ingredients were not available locally. I had to substitute the Gouda Cheese for a Motzerella/Parmesean mix, the Baguette bread with Italian. The recipe still turned out awesome. It had a rich buttery taste, sweet onion taste and was loved by the whole family. There were no leftovers. I will have to search for the proper ingredients but can't wait to make this again. Thanks for the great recipe.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
