CLINTON KELLY [Soup] French Onion Soup The Chew Clinton Kelly FRENCH ONION SOUP
2 pounds	medium Yellow Onions,, (sliced)
1/2 bunch	fresh Thyme,, (tied with kitchen twine)
2	Bay Leaves
1 teaspoons	Salt
2 tablespoons	Unsalted Butter
2 tablespoons	Olive Oil
1 tablespoon	All-Purpose Flour
1 cup	Full-Bodied Red Wine
4 cups	Reduced-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 cup	Water
1 teaspoon	Black Pepper
6 slices	Baguette,, (1/2-inch slices)
1/2 pound	Gruyere or mild Swiss Cheese, (grated)
2 tablespoons	Parmesan,, (grated)

step-by-step directions
In a heavy pot, cook onions, thyme, bay leaves, salt, olive oil and butter over moderate heat, for about 45 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are a deep caramel color. Add flour and stir, cook for about 1 minute. Stir in wine and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in broth, water, and black pepper and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When ready to serve, toast baguette slices. Preheat broiler. Remove bay leaves and thyme stems from soup. Ladle soup into oven-safe crocks or bowls. Top with toasted baguette slice, then grated gruyere, then grated parmesan. Broil until cheese bubbles and turns light golden brown.
NOTE: If you don’t have oven-safe crocks, you can make cheesy croutons. Place toasted baguette slices on a baking pan, top with both cheeses. Broil until cheese bubbles and turns light golden brown. Place one cheesy crouton on top of each bowl of soup.

Helpful Tips:
1. This recipe is best taken slow, so make sure to take your time in all the steps of the recipe.
2. In the crocks, make sure to leave enough room for the bread and cheese.
3. If you don’t have oven safe crocks, put the Baguettes with Cheese on a baking sheet and heat them in the oven, then add it to the soup.
