Ingredients:

• 2 lb yellow onions (peeled, cut in half, then thinly sliced)

• 1 small French baguette, sliced on a bias into 3/4″ thick pieces
• 12 oz medium-hard cheese

Directions:

Step 1

Slice the yellow onions thinly. After this, melt 4 tbsp butter in a large heavy pot, then add the sliced onions. As soon as they start to produce moisture, add 1 tsp of sugar and drizzle 1 tbsp all-purpose flour. Keep stirring until the onions are caramelized and the color turns nutty brown, then add 1 tbsp all-purpose flour. Mix well, cooking the flour completely.

Let it simmer for 30 minutes. Once done, ladle the soup into serving bowls, then add 2 pieces of sliced baguette on top and shredded medium-hard cheese.
