Zubereitung von Authentic French Onion Soup Courtesy Of Julia Child

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 4 pounds of thinly sliced yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 20-30 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue to cook the onions, stirring frequently, until deeply caramelized and a rich brown color, about 45-60 minutes. Be patient; this step is key to the soup's flavor.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of thyme. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.
If using, add 1 tablespoon of fresh sage, 1/2 cup of dry cognac, and stir, allowing the alcohol to cook off for a few minutes.
Add 1 cup of dry white wine (optional) and cook for 5 more minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Pour in 8 cups of beef stock (or beefless broth for a vegetarian option). Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the soup simmers, prepare the croutons: slice a baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, brush them with melted butter, and toast in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown.
Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with 2-3 toasted baguette slices and a generous amount of Gruyère cheese (about 1-2 ounces per bowl).
Broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Serve immediately and enjoy!
