Onion Soup with Virginia's Perfect Croutons
Ingredients:
- 10 yellow onions - sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 cloves of garlic - chopped
- 2 quarts beef broth (alt: vegetable broth)
If broth is unseasoned add:
- 2 tsp fresh thyme (chopped)
- 5oz (1 bag) Virginia's
Live A Little Perfect Croutons
- 3/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese
Directions:
Sauté sliced onions in olive oil until caramelized (a nice dark,
rich brown). Add chopped garlic and continue to sauté for 5
more minutes. Pour in broth, bay leaves and thyme. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Divide Virginia's
Perfect Croutons into 4 oven-safe soup bowls. (It’s
okay to save some to serve on the side too!) Ladle in soup, sprinkle
with grated Gruyere cheese. Place bowls under a broiler for 1-2
minutes until cheese melts. Serve immediately. Serves 4
