For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar during the last 5 minutes of simmering. Gruyere cheese can be substituted for, or mixed with, the mozzarella for a more authentic French onion soup experience. To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast it before adding it to the soup. This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before broiling the cheese.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
40 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized and a rich, dark brown color, approximately 30-40 minutes. Be patient, as this is crucial for the soup's flavor.
02
Step
5 mins
Pour in the vegetable broth and white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, incorporating them into the liquid. Season generously with salt and pepper.
03
Step
20 mins
Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for another 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
04
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven's broiler to high. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls.
05
Step
2 mins
Top each bowl with a slice of baguette and generously sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
06
Step
3 mins
Place the bowls under the hot broiler and broil until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
