Instructions

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat.
2
Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until they are deeply caramelized and sweet.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
5
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until the wine has reduced slightly.
7
Add the beef stock, bay leaves, and fresh thyme sprigs. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it gently simmer for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to meld.
8
While the soup simmers, prepare the croutons. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
10
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
11
Set your oven to broil. Ladle the hot soup into four oven-safe bowls or ramekins.
12
Top each bowl with a generous layer of homemade croutons.
13
Cover the croutons with a thick layer of shredded cheese.
14
Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
15
Carefully remove from the oven, let cool for a moment, and serve immediately.
