Cooking Instructions

  • Melt together the butter, onions, and honey in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes. Slowly add ¾ cup of the wine, ¼ cup at a time, until cooked into the onions. Continue to cook 10-15 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized.
  • Add garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper, cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ½ cup wine, broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and return to a simmer, cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the cream and cook another 5-10 minutes. Remove bay leaves and discard. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange bread on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes, until very dry. Switch the oven to broil.
  • Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Add a slice of bread to each, and top evenly with cheese. Place each bowl on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven, broil until bubbly and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with fresh thyme and serve.

Notes

Enjoy this comforting soup with crusty bread and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
