Ingredients

• 5 yellow onions, peeled and sliced
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons of flour
• 1/2 cup of dry white wine
• 6 cups of beef broth
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

• Salt and pepper 
• 1 sliced baguette

Preparation

1. In a large pot, melt the butter and add the onions. Cook until they are golden and caramelized, about 40 minutes, stirring every few minutes. 

2. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, then incorporate the flour and cook for an additional 1 minute. 
3. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pot and scrape the bottom of the pot.

5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place the sliced bread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes.
6. Increase the oven temperature to broil. 
7. Place your soup bowls on a baking sheet.
8. Divide the soup among them, add one or two slices of baguette, and top with cheese.
