Cooking Instructions

  • Melt together the butter, onions, and honey in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes. Slowly add ¾ cup of the wine, ¼ cup at a time, until the wine cooks into the onions. Continue to cook another 10-15 minutes until caramelized.
  • Add garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper, cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add remaining ½ cup wine, broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and return to a simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in cream and cook another 5-10 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves. Season to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange bread on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes, until very dry. Switch oven to broil.
  • Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Add a slice of bread to each and top with cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil until bubbly and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Top with fresh thyme and serve.
