French Onion Soup with Grilled Cheese Toasts: A cozy and comforting meal for chilly evenings.

Ingredients:

50g butter
5 onions
40.00 ml plain flour
123.75 gm dry red wine
2000.00 ml hot beef consomme
4 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1 baguette
250.00 ml grated gruyere or Swiss cheese

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, melt 50g of butter. Add 5 thinly sliced onions and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of plain flour and cook for an additional minute. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry red wine, add 8 cups of hot beef consomme, 4 sprigs of thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Season the mixture and simmer covered for 25 minutes.
Slice a baguette into thick slices and arrange them on an oven tray. Toast under a hot grill for about 2 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Sprinkle 1 cup of grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese evenly over the slices. Pop them back under the grill for 1 minute, or until the cheese has melted.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls with the cheese toasts. Serve with additional cheese toasts on the side.
