Instructions:

  2. Add the onions and sauté for 20-30 minutes until they are soft and golden brown, stirring often to prevent burning.
  3. Stir in the garlic, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and grape juice, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  6. (Optional: At this point, the soup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
  7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Ladle the soup into 6 ovenproof bowls.
  9. Top each bowl with a slice of French bread and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of grated Gruyere cheese over the bread.
  10. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, savoring the delicious aroma and flavors of this homemade French Onion Soup!

Notes:

  • For an extra-special touch, try adding a splash of sherry or cognac to the soup before serving.
  • Serve alongside a crisp green salad or a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though the soup is best enjoyed fresh. Simply reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
