Ingredients:

• 1 cup long-grain white rice (or any rice you prefer)
• 4 large onions (yellow or sweet onions work best)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for a lighter version)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, but adds great depth of flavor)
• 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or Swiss cheese)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Caramelize the Onions

1. Prepare the Onions
   Begin by peeling and thinly slicing the onions. The caramelization process is key to developing the deep, sweet flavor that defines French onion soup.
2. Cook the Onions
   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced onions, and cook them slowly, stirring occasionally. The goal is to caramelize the onions, which will take about 30-40 minutes. Be patient, as this step is crucial for bringing out the natural sweetness of the onions.
3. Add the Garlic
   About 5 minutes before the onions are done caramelizing, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, making sure it doesn’t burn.

Step 2: Create the Soup Base

1. Deglaze the Pan
   Once the onions are golden and caramelized, pour in the white wine (if using). Stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
2. Add the Broth and Seasoning
   Pour in the beef broth and add the thyme and bay leaf. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
