Instructions

1.In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil together over medium heat.
2.Add the brown sugar and stir until it melts. Add the onions, leeks, shallots, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes, or until they are all soft.
3.Add the flour and stir well.
4.Add the thyme, bay leaf, rosemary, sherry wine, champagne or white wine, beef broth, and black pepper to the pot and stir.
5.Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
6.Remove the bay leaf and thyme.
7.Preheat oven to 350°F.
8.To make the cheese crisps, arrange the gruyere cheese in small piles on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
9.Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cheese melts and bubbles.
10.Remove from the oven and let the cheese crisps cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the parchment paper. Cut them into triangles or squares.
11.Ladle the soup into bowls, and place one or two cheese crisps on top of each bowl. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and minced chives.

PROS

This soup is rich, flavorful, and incredibly comforting.
The cheese crisps add a satisfying crunch and extra cheesy flavor to the dish.

It is also a great dish to make ahead of time because the soup can be reheated easily, and the cheese crisps can be made a day or two in advance.

CONS

This soup is quite heavy and rich, so it may not be suitable for those watching their calorie intake or those who are lactose intolerant.

The soup also requires a bit of prep time to slice and dice all the onions and garlic properly.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Onions and garlic are both superfoods that are great for boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and keeping the heart healthy.
However, this recipe does call for quite a bit of butter, and the cheese crisps are high in fat, so it’s important to enjoy this dish in moderation.
